On July 16, 2026, catcher Francisco Álvarez delivered a feel‑good performance in the first MLB game after the All‑Star break, belting two solo home runs and finishing 2‑for‑3 as the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4–1. The back‑to‑back homers in the seventh inning shifted momentum and gave the Mets an early energy boost for the second half. MLB named Álvarez the Player of the Game for July 16, and fans celebrated a highlight night for the young slugger.
