Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez played his first rehab game with Binghamton, the team's Double-A affiliate, on Tuesday night and showed off the power.
Alvarez grounded out in his first at-bat but launched a home run in his second plate appearance. The backstop singled in his third at-bat and then had a scary moment in his fourth time up. In the sixth, Alvarez was hit in the same hand he fractured by the first pitch thrown by Eiberson Castellano. The Binghamton training staff took a look at Alvarez and he was seemingly ok, running the bases and catching the next inning.
