Francisco Álvarez became the first Mets catcher since Mike Piazza in 2005 to hit two home runs in a game, leading New York to an 8-2 victory over the Marlins on June 28. The 21-year-old sensation, who was 0-for-4 with two strikeouts the previous night, went 2-for-4 with a double and two homers, driving in four runs. Álvarez has been a bright spot for the Mets, hitting .262 with 12 home runs and 26 RBIs in 50 games. His power surge has been a key factor in the Mets' lineup, providing much-needed offense during a challenging season.
