Luis Torrens went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored to power the Mets to a 5-0 win over the Padres on Friday.

Torrens doubled and scored in the third inning, then gave the Mets a pair of insurance runs with a two-run homer off Michael King in the fifth. The 30-year-old backstop has been solid filling in for Francisco Alvarez, hitting .233/.288/.350 with one homer, 13 runs scored, and 15 RBI across 113 plate appearances. Though Alvarez, currently on a rehab assignment, is making his way back from meniscus surgery. He’s expected to be activated as early as Tuesday when the Mets begin a six-game homestand.
