Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez inflicted physical and financial damage on the Tampa Bay Rays and their stadium on Tuesday night.
The 27-year-old All-Star hit a ball so hard that it crashed into the big screen at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, causing a glitch and failure of the giant screen, according to multiple reports.
The Astros won 3-2 against the Rays, and Alvarez did not score a hit in the game.
