Francisco Alvarez hit a tying homer in his second game back from the minors and Ryne Stanek retired Mike Trout with two runners aboard for the final out as the New York Mets rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 3-2.

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.

Brett Baty, Francisco Alvarez and Ronny Mauricio – hitting seventh, eighth and ninth, respectively – came through with clutch two-out hits in a three-run fifth where the Mets took the lead and never looked back en route to a 3-2 win in front of an announced sell-out crowd of 43,055 at Citi Field.
