The Houston Astros and the New York Mets played on Wednesday afternoon.

The game featured an incredible pitching duel between Justin Verlander and Taijuan Walker.

Both pitchers combined to throw 15.1 scoreless innings.

With the score tied at zero runs apiece, there was a scary play in the shallow outfield involving left fielder Yordan Alvarez and shortstop Jeremy Pena.

There was a fly ball to the aforementioned zone: Pena was running towards the outfield and Alvarez sprinting down, near the infield.

Alvarez took an elbow to the face from Pena and the shortstop was hit by a sprinting 6-foot-5, 225-pound man.

Pena was the first one to get up, and he did it relatively quickly.

 

A Nasty Collision

Alvarez, however, stayed down for a few minutes before being carted off the field.

It’s likely that the Astros’ slugger is dealing with a concussion, but that will be confirmed by tests and other studies.

In the end, he ended up shaking it off with a slow walk, per Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle.

“Yordan Alvarez is going to leave the field on a cart, but he stood up and walked onto it,” Rome tweeted.

It was an ugly scene: Houston won the game 2-0, but Astros fans are probably holding their breath and hoping Alvarez, their best hitter, is okay.

If he is indeed dealing with a concussion, he will probably be on the shelf for a while.

Losing Alvarez for any extended period of time will hurt a lot.

Before Wednesday’s game, he was hitting .321 with 49 runs, 23 homers, 56 RBI, and a fantastic 1.082 OPS.

He is a legitimate MVP candidate with what he has done so far.

Hopefully, the big guy can be back on the field hitting dingers as soon as possible.
