Mets recalling Francisco Alvarez after homer barrage in minors

The laser show that Francisco Alvarez has been putting on with Triple-A Syracuse is ending.

He now will head to The Show.

The Mets are recalling their young catcher, a source said Sunday, after he laid waste to minor league pitching for nearly a month.

Alvarez, who was optioned amid offensive and defensive struggles on June 22, reported to Syracuse and made adjustments on both sides of the ball that he hopes will translate to the majors.

In 19 games with Syracuse, Alvarez demolished 11 home runs — including another one Sunday, a game in which he was pinch-hit for in the ninth inning.

The powerful 23-year-old had hit just three home runs in 35 major league games this season.

Alvarez is expected to rejoin the Mets on Monday and likely will share time with Luis Torrens.
