Recreation acknowledge sport. And a big-time recognition occurred on the sector after Houston’s Recreation 3 win within the ALCS on Wednesday night time.
After Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 with two RBIs in the Astros’ 8-5 win, the star outfielder joined FOX Sports activities’ MLB postgame present for an interview. And as quickly as he arrived to the stage to speak to Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, and David Ortiz, he received some excessive reward from Huge Papi himself: “Child Papi.”
It doesn’t take an excessive amount of digging to seek out the similarities that Ortiz was alluding to. Past the bodily similarities (Ortiz is listed at 6-foot-3, 230 kilos, Alvarez 6-foot-5, 225), each have proven a specific knack for displaying out in October. Ortiz even stated to Alvarez on the FOX set that watching the Astros slugger makes him emotional, nearly like he’s wanting within the mirror.
However for Alvarez, whose Astros have reached the ALCS in all 5 of his MLB seasons, the 2023 postseason is shaking as much as be the stuff of legends as effectively. By solely seven playoff video games this yr, Alvarez has six homers, 11 runs and 10 RBIs, becoming a member of fellow Astro Carlos Beltrán (2004) as the one gamers with 5+ HR, 10+ runs, and 10+ RBIs within the first seven video games of a postseason. Alvarez’s numbers could be even higher if not for being robbed of a homer by Leody Taveras in Recreation 3 on Wednesday night time.
As for Alvarez and the Astros? Houston is trying to turn out to be solely the fourth workforce in MLB historical past to beat a 2-0 sequence deficit with each losses coming at residence in a seven-game sequence.
