MVP of Yesterday (July 9, 2013): Alex Rios

Alex Rios may have had one of the best nights of the season last night. Heck, he might have had one of the best nights of all time!

  • He went six-for-six!
  • He was four-for-four against Justin Verlander!
  • He stole two bases!
  • He’s the first person in history to do that well against Verlander, and only the second in the modern era to get that many hits and SB in a game (Sammy Sosa did it before).
