Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, a walk and two runs in Friday's 8-0 victory over the Yankees.
The veteran slugger's 425-foot shot in the second brought home Adam Jones and made Alvarez a 20-homer man for the second straight season. The homer was his first since Aug. 19 against the Astros, with that round-tripper also having served as his most recent RBI prior to Friday.
