Mets' Francisco Alvarez exits Tuesday's game vs. Tigers with apparent injury

Mets  catcher Francisco Alvarez exited Tuesday's game against the Detroit Tigers in the bottom of the sixth inning with an apparent injury. Alvarez took a big swing on a 2-2 pitch against Burch Smith and fouled it off, but appeared to limp and grab at his knee. He then left the game with trainers.

Luis Torrens came in to pinch-hit, eventually working a walk and scoring in the inning. This is a developing story and will be updated... Francisco Alvarez is out of the game after fouling a pitch off pic.
