He hit a one-out double off the rightfield wall in a 5-5 game in the eighth inning, moving Brett Baty to third. Baty ultimately scored on Ronny Mauricio’s grounder to third, sliding into home on a missed catch by Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe of Sayville. Alvarez scored later in the inning on Brandon Nimmo’s sac fly.

Just back from the minors, Francisco Alvarez played a major role in the New York Mets' comeback win. After tearing up Triple-A pitching for a few weeks, the 23-year-old catcher returned to New York's starting lineup Monday night and provided a huge lift in a 7-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels.
