RSL's Yordany Alvarez after practice at Rio Tinto Stadium, Thursday, May 24, 2012. Alvarez is stepping onto the field for a significant stretch of time for the first time in his short career with the team, replacing of Kyle Beckerman, who's away with the U.S. national team. It represents an amazing rise for a player who got his start in the U.S. pro leagues after defecting under cover of night from Cuba during a tournament in Florida four years ago.
