Alvarez homered twice and knocked in five runs in a 3-for-5 game Tuesday against the Padres.
Alvarez is finding his stroke in June, as he has now hammered six of his nine home runs this month. He upped his batting line for the month to a stellar .340/.373/.745 with Tuesday's effort and is now hitting .240/.318/.473 on the season. That's right about in line with his .236/.309/.440 career mark and approximately what can be expected from Alvarez going forward.
