Alvarez Raps 3 HR Against Gaedels Friday, August 2nd , 2086 Today was a special one for Jordan Alvarez of the Havana Metropolitanos as he slammed three home runs in the 9-1 Metropolitanos win over the St. Louis Gaedels. "Lately, I've been uppercutting the ball too much," he said to sportswriters after the game. "I would hit it hard, but they just went sky high and stayed in the ballpark. No big long outs for me in this game. I leveled out my swing and connected on the sweet spot. I knew they were gone the minute I hit 'em." The Havana left fielder collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs in the contest at Estadio Latinoamericano. Jordan Alvarez hit a solo-shot off Diego Solis in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Diego Solis in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, flied out in the 6th and hit a three-run home run off Hector Roybal in the 8th. This season, Alvarez has hit at a .295 clip with 51 RBIs, 16 home runs and 60 runs scored. He has played in 86 games. |
