The match was a close affair but Atletico were better in front of goal than the Basques, with Kalinic breaking the deadlock when he bundled home with his stomach from Santiago Arias's cross.
Alaves might have equalised with Borja Baston and Jonathan Calleri going close, before Griezmann scored Atletico's second on the break towards the end.
Rodri slammed in a third from close range as Atletico moved second, level with leaders Barcelona on 28 points.
