Thanks to the Yankees and their refusal to put a roof on their stadium, there was only one game on the docket yesterday: Mariners @ Astros. Nature abhorrs a vacuum, though, and Yordan Alvarez filled the void nicely. His second go ahead home run of the ALCS got everyone’s attention, and is the main topic of focus in MLB today.
Alvarez came to the plate in the sixth with Houston trailing, 2-1, and rookie shortstop Jeremy Peña standing on first base.
