Yordan Álvarez's epic exploits continue

It is almost certain that Yordan Álvarez will not accumulate 502 plate appearances, which are necessary to become a qualified hitter at the end of this regular season.

He has 435 trips to the batter's box and would be missing 67. Even if he played the remaining 12 games for the Houston Astros, he would hardly be able to accumulate more than 485 PAs. In any case, although he does not manage to be among the qualified hitters this year, Yordan Álvarez has once again posted surprising numbers. This Friday he entered Kauffman Stadium and went 1-for-3*, with a double that drove in the first run for the Astros, who were defeated 4-2 against the Royals.
