NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso says he can’t rank his most important regular-season home runs.

His reaction to a franchise-record fifth walk-off homer spoke for itself.

Alonso’s three-run, opposite-field homer in the 10th inning lifted the Mets to a 5-2 victory over the Texas Rangers and stopped an eight-game losing streak, New York’s longest since 2018.

“I’m really stoked I was able to come up and help the team there,” Alonso said. “Obviously this is a really important one for us, especially coming down the stretch.”

New York reopened a 1 1/2-game lead over San Francisco for the last NL wild card, a day after the margin was cut to a half-game.

“It was important,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. “We needed that one.”
