Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez inflicted some physical and financial damage on the Tampa Bay Rays and their ballpark on Tuesday night.
The 27-year-old All-Star hit a ball so hard that it crashed into the jumbotron at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, causing the massive screen to malfunction, according to multiple reports.
The Astros held on to beat the Rays 3-2, and Alvarez went hitless in the game.
