In his second game back from Triple A, Francisco Alvarez hit a game-tying home run that sparked the Mets to a 3-2 win over the Angels on Tuesday.

That month in the minors sure seems to be paying dividends for Francisco Alvarez. In his second game since being recalled, the third-year catcher keyed the Mets’ 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday night with a crucial two-run home run.

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.

The New York Mets erased an early deficit with a three-run fifth inning, highlighted by Francisco Alvarez’s clutch two-run homer, to edge the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 and secure a series win on Tuesday night at Citi Field.

After an extended stretch of poor performance, the Mets decided it was time to challenge Alvarez, unexpectedly demoting him to the minor leagues. It doesn’t take much to motivate Alvarez. Like the Energizer bunny, the 23-year-old is constantly on the move, pouring all of his energy into whatever task he’s doing.

Juan Soto hit a tying single in the seventh inning, Francisco Alvarez delivered a big double in his return from the minors and the New York Mets rallied past the Los Angeles Angels 7-5.
