Astros outlast Yankees 9-7 on Alvarez eighth-inning triple

7 sourcesUpdated Aug 26, 2026

Henry Bolte has been a standout rookie at the plate in August, highlighted by multiple three-hit games and three-run scoring bursts as he helped Oakland in several late-season efforts. In Monday’s 9-6 loss to the Twins, Bolte went 3-for-4 with three runs and a walk, continuing his hot stretch without an RBI that night. Across August, he is slashing roughly .345/.406/.494 with three homers, eight RBI, 17 runs, and two stolen bases over about 22 games, underscoring his developing power-speed mix. For the season, Bolte sits around .270/.345/.369 with six home runs, 26 RBI, 34 runs, and 14 steals in roughly 88–89 games, reflecting solid overall contribution despite limited RBI output in some games. His latest performance on Sunday also featured a 3-for-5 effort with a double and a run in a 7-6 victory, reinforcing his growing impact in Oakland’s lineup.
