Astros' Yordan Alvarez Carted Off Citi Field After Collision With Teammate

Houston Astros left fielder Yordan Alvarez was carted off Citi Field in Wednesday's game against the New York Mets after colliding with shortstop Jeremy Pena in the outfield while running down a popup.

The collision occurred in the bottom half of the eighth inning, when Mets first baseman Dominic Smith popped the ball into shallow left. Both Alvarez and Pena went for the ball, before colliding and hitting each other in the face while Pena caught and held onto the ball.

Alvarez was conscious as he was carted off, while Pena exited the game under his own power. Astros manager Dusty Baker did not provide an immediate update after the game on the condition of Alvarez and Pena.

The Astros went on to defeat the Mets, 2-0, aided by eight shutout innings from Justin Verlander. Houston is 47-27 on the season, first place in the American League West.
