KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 Yordan Alvarez became the first player to hit a grand slam and multi-run homer in\u2026<\/p>\n

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) \u2014 Yordan Alvarez<\/a> became the first player to hit a grand slam and multi-run homer in the first inning of a Major League Baseball<\/a> game, pulling off the feat for the Houston Astros against the Kansas City Royals on Friday night.<\/p>\n

He became the eighth player to hit a grand slam and a multi-run homer in an inning and the first since Angels slugger Kendrys Morales did it against Texas in 2012, according to Sportradar.<\/p>\n

The left-handed Alvarez drove in two runs with an opposite-field homer early in the inning and cleared the bases with a two-out shot to center, giving him six RBIs in Houston\u2019s nine-run inning.<\/p>\n

Alvarez, the AL leader in homers, tied Philadelphia\u2019s Kyle Schwarber for the MLB lead at 24 with his two-homer inning.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old designated hitter, who is from Cuba, was the AL rookie of the year in 2019 with Houston. The three-time All-Star was the AL Championship Series MVP<\/a> in 2021 and led the Astros with six RBIs the next year when they won the World Series.<\/p>\n
