Alvarez Catches up on Yard Work -- Slams 4 Homers
Hitting a single home run is a tough task. Hitting two in a game is impressive. Hitting three is remarkable. Anything beyond that is borderline unbelievable -- yet that's what Antonio Alvarez did today in the 10-0 Kansas City Royals victory over the Los Angeles Angels.

Alvarez went 4-for-5 with 4 home runs and drove in 7 runs in a once-in-a-lifetime feat that the opposing manager later labeled "impossible."

"I don't believe it really happened," Angels manager Matt Moore joked to BNN reporters afterward. "I don't ever enjoy losing a game, but this kid was special today. I have never seen a guy hit 4 in a game before. I didn't enjoy it, but it was special."

Antonio Alvarez flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Mike Cerretani in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Tim Titolo in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Josh Carnevale in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off Aaron Gallucci in the 9th.

This year, Alvarez is batting .282 with 98 hits, 15 home runs, 62 RBIs, 50 walks, .373 OBP and has scored 49 runs.
