Francisco Alvarez Powers Mets to Win With Two-Homer Performance

Francisco Alvarez led the Mets to a 4-1 victory over the Phillies, finishing 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk. This performance, the seventh multi-homer game of his career, was pivotal in securing the team's first win post-All-Star break. The game was played under challenging conditions, with the start time moved up an hour due to poor air quality caused by smoke from wildfires in Canada and Minnesota.
