Warning to MLB. There’s a disturbance in the Force. Yordan Alvarez 2-run shot propels Stros to 4-0 win

Today, June 9th, 2019, is officially Yordan Alvarez Day. It seemed impossible for the 21-year old to live up to all the absurd hype, but that he did.

Mike Trout played in 14 games before hitting a home run. Bryce Harper played 15 games before his first dinger. Astros sluggers George Springer and Alex Bregman each played 20 games before they hit their first home runs. All of the above were first found draft picks.

Yordan Alvarez hit his first Big League home run on his second at bat.
