Francisco Alvarez Launches Grand Slam on Triple-A Rehab as Syracuse Tops Buffalo 10–2

The full-game catching workload marked a key step in his return from a fractured pinky.

Overview

  • Alvarez hit a 405-foot grand slam to left-center during Syracuse’s win over the Bisons.
  • The catcher completed nine innings behind the plate while continuing his Triple-A rehab assignment.
  • Jose Siri, also rehabbing, drove in two runs on groundouts to help build an early lead.
  • Catcher Kevin Parada was promoted from Double-A and, in his Triple-A debut, walked, stole a base and scored.
  • Jett Williams added a two-run homer in the eighth, and the victory gave Syracuse four wins in its last six games.
