Francisco Alvarez’s June swoon mirrored the Mets’ overall play, but suddenly the rookie catcher is eliciting oohs and ahhs from the crowd again, propping up his team along with him.
With the Mets embroiled in a back-and-forth slugfest with the NL West leader on Tuesday, it was Alvarez who created the loudest Fourth-of-July crackle with a go-ahead homer in the seventh that propelled an 8-5 victory over the Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
Francisco Alvarez’s three-run homer was the difference for the Mets on Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.The Mets still need plenty of victories before they can rightfully think in terms of adding significantly at the trade deadline, but the last three games have at least provided a shred of hope. Scherzer survived six innings, allowing four earned runs on five hits with two walks and nine strikeouts.
Scherzer recorded two fast outs in the fourth before Christian Walker and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. launched consecutive homers that tied it 3-3.
