Pete Alonso slugged a couple of home runs, becoming the New York Mets all-time home run king, and the Mets snapped their losing streak by defeating the Atlanta Braves, 13-5.
It was about as perfect of a night as you could draw up for the Mets. They crushed six home runs, scored all 13 runs with two outs and saw some breakout performances.
Alonso is the lead story, with his home run in the 3rd, passing Darryl Strawberry to become the Mets all-time home run leader with 253 career home runs as a New York Met. It would stay that way for long, as Alonso added another to get to 254.
Francisco Alvarez also powered two home runs out, along with an RBI double. The Mets backstop continues to swing a hot bat since returning from a stint in the minors.
As for the pitching, it was a so-so night for Clay Holmes, who hit trouble in the 4th. Justin Hagenman had a nice night mopping up and saving the bullpen's big arms for the rest of the series.
The Mets now look to bottle up whatever they can from this performance and continue it tomorrow evening, with David Peterson on the bump.
