Pete Alonso Homers Twice, Mets Edge Marlins 6-5

Pete Alonso played a pivotal role in the New York Mets' recent games against the Miami Marlins, helping secure a 10-4 victory by hitting his first home run of the season—a grand slam that extended the Mets' lead. His performance marked a significant turnaround after a slow start to the season, where he had recorded only one hit prior to this game. Alonso is now on track to break the Mets' all-time home run record, needing just 26 more home runs to surpass Darryl Strawberry. The Mets' offense, which had struggled against the Houston Astros, showed signs of revival with a collective breakout effort against the Marlins, scoring seven runs in one inning. Alonso expressed his relief at finally hitting a home run, reflecting on the pressure of the early season. The team is optimistic that this offensive explosion will set the tone for the remainder of the season.
