Mets Triumph 10-4 Over Marlins, Alonso Hits Grand Slam

The New York Mets bounced back from a sluggish start to the season with a commanding 10-4 victory over the Miami Marlins, highlighted by Pete Alonso's grand slam during a seven-run fifth inning. Alongside Alonso, Starling Marte, Luis Torrens, and Brandon Nimmo contributed to the offensive surge with home runs, marking a significant improvement after the Mets managed only five runs in their opening series against the Houston Astros. David Peterson led the pitching effort, allowing just two runs over six innings while striking out nine batters. The Mets' lineup showed newfound energy, especially with Marte stepping up as a leadoff hitter in Francisco Lindor's absence due to the birth of his child. Marlins starter Cal Quantrill struggled, giving up six runs, including the grand slam to Alonso, which marked his first of the season. This performance could signal a turning point for the Mets as they look to build momentum in the early part of the season.
