Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez was named American League MVP on Thursday.
Alvarez received every first-place vote to beat out Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays and Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals.
Alvarez claimed the AL batting title with a .316 average, and was just short of becoming the first Triple Crown winner since 2012 after finishing second in the Junior Circuit in both homers (42) and RBIs (106).
More to come.
