Pete Alonso News: Homers in second straight game

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a double Saturday in a 12-6 victory versus the Giants.

Alonso set the tone for a big offensive night for the Mets when he cranked a three-run blast to center field in the first inning. The All-Star slugger has gone deep in each of his past two games following a rough 1-for-23 stretch at the plate. Alonso is up to 24 homers on the season as he seeks another campaign with at least 30 long balls -- the only time he hasn't reached that mark in his career was during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.
