Orioles' Pedro Alvarez: Launches mammoth homer in Saturday victory
Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a 448-foot solo homer in Saturday's 5-2 victory over the Indians.
Analysis:
The veteran slugger's mammoth blast chased Indians starter Josh Tomlin to start the seventh, and was Alvarez's third homer in the last seven games. After a dreadful start to his Orioles career that saw him hitting .194 on May 28, the 29-year-old has raised his average 46 points since June 1.
