New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez made headlines after hitting two home runs in a 10-6 victory over the San Francisco Giants, marking his seventh multi-homer game before turning 25. This achievement ties him with Hall of Famer Gary Carter for the most such games among catchers in that age group, and he is just one game shy of Johnny Bench’s record of eight. Alvarez’s last multi-homer performance occurred on July 16 against the Phillies. With three multi-HR games in 2026, Alvarez continues to solidify his place among baseball’s greats.
