Francisco Alvarez hit two 2-run homers, part of a four-homer attack, as the Mets built an 11-4 lead and hung on for an 11-10 win over the White Sox Tuesday night at Citi Field. Alvarez and Brett Baty delivered back-to-back homers in the first inning, part of a five-run inning, the most runs the Mets [...]
Last week I commented on one of our articles that the upcoming series against the Dodgers was the key to whether we were going to be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline. The key was and has been to put more runs up on the board while containing the opposition’s scoring. Hardly a controversial [...]
