Alvarez went 2-for-4 with two walks, two home runs and four RBI in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox.
The rookie catcher smoked a pair of two-run blasts, taking Lucas Giolito deep in the first inning and Tanner Banks yard in the sixth to continue his July power surge. Alvarez is batting .368 (14-for-38) on the month with seven of his 19 homers on the year, and he's closing in on matching or surpassing the achievement of Hall of Famer Johnny Bench, who holds the single-season record for home runs by a catcher 21 years or younger with 26. Alvarez doesn't turn 22 until November.
