Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run, three RBI, and one run scored in a win over the Royals on Sunday.
Alvarez needed that. His double was a 109.1 mph shot off Kris Bubic in the first inning that would have been a home run in 17 stadiums, and then he followed that up with a 110.6 mph home run that traveled 436 feet. Alvarez is hitting .213/.312/.360 on the season, but you know it’s only a matter of time before the hot streak comes.
