Alonso Nears Mets HR Record, Earns Team Praise

News summary

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit his 250th career home run in a 12-6 win over the San Francisco Giants, moving within two of Darryl Strawberry’s franchise record of 252. Alonso’s recent power surge, including back-to-back homers, follows a prolonged slump and brings his season totals to 24 home runs and 86 RBIs. Previously facing uncertainty about his future with the Mets, Alonso has reinforced his value as both an offensive force and a clubhouse leader. Manager Carlos Mendoza and teammates praised Alonso’s achievements and his ability to set the tone for the team. Alonso acknowledged the importance of approaching the record but stated his primary focus is on helping the Mets in a heated playoff race. He joins an elite group of players to reach 250 home runs within their first seven MLB seasons.
