5/10/24 Yankees don't complete sweep, but still go 6-1 against nemesis Astros. Yordan Alvarez and Jon Singleton each hit long homers in the first inning for the Houston Astros, who beat the New York Yankees 4-3 on Thursday night to avoid being swept in the season series. Alvarez, who was 3 for 32 with no homers in his previous nine games entering Thursday, hit a two-out solo shot off Marcus Stroman (2-2) into the second deck in right field measured at 116.8 mph. “When he hit it, he looked in the dugout (as if he was) saying 'Hey, I'm coming,'” Astros manager Joe Espada said. Alvarez helped lead the celebration in the dugout two batters later, when Singleton hit a two-run homer off the facade along the third deck in right field clocked at 115.4 mph. It was only the ninth time in Stroman's career he surrendered two homers in an inning.

4/16/24 Who's really left-handed? In baseball, it can be hard to tell. HOUSTON | Houston's Yordan Alvarez might be the top left-handed hitter in Major League Baseball. Literally — neither player considers himself left-handed at all. MLB and its history are dotted with men who played out of their natural handedness, a phenomenon that is seen occasionally in other sports but is a regular occurrence on the diamond. Thumb through a pack of baseball cards from just about any era and you're likely to see players who bat one way and throw the other.

A perfect example of that is Yordan Alvarez because yes, this is the kind of performance we were expecting from him, 4 dongs and a .458 batting average. Ok, the batting average is obviously inflated due to the small sample size but the man has legit 70 bomb power. Love to see it.
