The Express just completed their first sweep of the season and are in 1st place of the Pacific Coast League, American Southern Division at 16-10. Astros‘ prospects Alvarez, Tucker, and Myles Straw have had the hot bats of late and Corbin Martin continues his success on the mound.
To say that Yordan Alvarez was hot this week would be a huge understatement. I’m running out of superlatives trying to describe Alvarez and the type of season he’s having. In the last seven games, he has 13 hits in 20 at-bats, and eight of those were extra-base hits, six doubles and two home runs.
