The New York Mets desperately needed a spark, and on Tuesday night, Pete Alonso delivered the kind of moment fans never forget.
Alonso didn’t just help snap the Mets’ seven-game losing streak—he also wrote his name into the history books permanently.
The Mets won 13-5 against the Atlanta Braves, but the most memorable moment came early in the game.
The slugger came into the game tied with Darryl Strawberry for the most home runs in Mets history at 252 apiece.
In the third inning against Spencer Strider, Alonso turned on a pitch and sent it soaring for career homer number 253 .
It wasn’t a no-doubt blast, but once it cleared the fence, it carried a surge of emotion across the stadium.
Fans at Citi Field were fortunate enough to witness this milestone at home.
