Yordan Alvarez continues postseason hitting streak, receives massive shout from MLB Insider - "Hello Mr. October"

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez has been on a tear this postseason and has uplifted the defending champions to the NLCS round. This has led to many analysts praising the Astros star for his clutch performances in October baseball.

MLB Columnist Bob Nightengale recently took to X, formerly Twitter, to heap praise for the left-handed hitter. In his tweet, he simply acknowledged Alvarez's postseason performances and named him "Mr. October":

"Hello Mr. October, Yordan Alvarez."

Even in today's Game 3 against the Texas Rangers, he has already driven in two runs and scored a run off one hit until now. The Astros' offense which was been lackluster in the first two games of the ALCS is ignited once again as they carry an 8-4 lead going to the bottom of the eighth innings.

In the 2023 regular season, he batted hit .293, recording 120 hits, 31 home runs, 97 RBIs and 77 runs scored in 114 games this season.

Houston is trailing 0-2 against the Rangers in the ALCS so far and would like to cut that lead in half by winning Game 3 at Globe Life Field.
