Francisco Alvarez powers Mets past Phillies in 11-3 rout
by Chris Schommer | Mets Correspondent | Sat, Sep 14th 9:39am EDT
Francisco Alvarez went 2-for-4 in the Mets' 11-3 victory over the Phillies, including a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance is a bright spot in what has been a relatively modest season for Alvarez, lifting his RBI total to 37 and home runs to eight. Despite a batting average of just .237, his power display in this game offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers looking for signs of potential breakout. Alvarez's ability to drive in runs and occasionally leave the yard can make him a valuable asset in deeper leagues, especially given the scarcity of productive catchers. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average might still be a concern for those in average-focused formats.
