The one different Houston gamers with a multi-homer inning are Lee Might (April 29, 1974, vs. the Chicago Cubs) and Jeff Bagwell (June 24, 1994, vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers).
The final participant to homer twice within the first inning of a recreation was David Ortiz for the Boston Purple Sox towards the Texas Rangers on Aug. 12, 2008.
Together with his twenty third and twenty fourth homers of the season, Alvarez pulled even with the Philadelphia Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber for the main league lead.
