Francisco Alvarez Achieves Multi-HR Milestone with Mets
New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez made headlines after hitting two home runs in a 10-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
With this performance, Alvarez, who is 24 years old, has now tied Baseball Hall of Famer Gary Carter for the most multi-homer games by a catcher before turning 25, with a total of seven. He is just one game away from matching Johnny Bench's record of eight.
Alvarez's previous multi-homer game occurred on July 16 against the Phillies. This season, he has achieved three multi-homer games, including another two-homer performance against the Giants on April 3. Throughout his career, Alvarez has recorded 63 home runs and 179 RBIs.
