Yordan Alvarez Slugs 41st Homer And Drives In 102nd Run In Win

Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an RBI single, and a walk in a 7-0 win over the Mariners, bringing his season totals to 41 homers and 102 RBIs. Alvarez, who recently voiced frustration during a team meeting, leads the majors with a 1.032 OPS and trails Pete Alonso by six RBIs in the Triple Crown race. Ken Rosenthal believes Alvarez deserves American League MVP consideration amid his stellar offensive campaign.
