Yordan Alvarez wins AL MVP award after the Astros slugger made a run at the Triple Crown The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez won the AL MVP award in a unanimous vote on Thursday night after making a run at the Triple Crown. Alvarez hit a career-best .316 with 42 homers and 106 RBIs for the AL West champions. He led the majors in batting average and finished in a tie for second in the AL in homers and second by himself in RBIs, trailing Pete Alonso’s 43 homers and 113 RBIs for Baltimore. Alvarez was Houston’s primary designated hitter, but his offensive brilliance was enough to overcome his limited contributions on defense. The four-time All-Star also led the majors in walks, on-base percentage and slugging percentage.

What it measures: How safe the area is, from reported crime adjusted for population, with burglary and robbery counting most.
