Francisco Lindor and mashing Mets’ bats were even more impressive, bashing their way to a fifth straight win.
Alvarez became the first Mets rookie to have three homers in a three-game series twice in a season - Larry Elliot in 1964 was the only other New York rookie to do it once - and Pete Alonso hit his 26th of the season.
The good news after the beatdown: Carroll’s shoulder showed no structural damage. He’s to expected have an MRI on Friday. Alonso, also an All-Star, gave a preview of his appearance in next week’s Home Run Derby with a line-drive, two-run homer off Ryne Nelson in the first inning. Alvarez took a few steps toward the mound before being cut off by plate umpire Tripp Gibson. Ruiz raised his arms and started talking to Alvarez, who had to be held back.“If they did it on purpose, if they did it to make me feel bad, what they should do is strike me out,” Alvarez said.The Mets released right-hander Chris Flexen after acquiring him in a trade that brought right-hander Trevor Gott from Seattle.
