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