Alvarez’s Power Returns for Mets | MLB News

Francisco Alvarez crushed a projected 415-foot homer off a fastball to break a scoreless tie, proving his power despite injuries and inconsistency — a huge boost for the Mets’ offense. Luis Torrens added a solo shot while catching, emphasizing the importance of catcher unity. Alvarez’s June stats (OPS .821, 5 HR) mark his best month since last July, hinting at a breakout season. At just 24, he’s still working on strikeout control and durability, but his bat — especially from the right side — is a vital weapon the Mets desperately need back at full strength.
