In a thrilling Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series, Pete Alonso hit a dramatic three-run homer in the ninth inning, propelling the New York Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Mets were trailing 2-0 and facing elimination when Alonso's historic home run turned the game around, marking the first time a player has hit a go-ahead homer while trailing in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all postseason game. Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo set the stage for Alonso's heroics, while Starling Marte added an insurance run, advancing the Mets to face the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL Division Series. Despite a tough seventh inning where the Brewers took the lead with back-to-back home runs, the Mets' bullpen, led by Edwin Diaz and David Peterson, shut down Milwaukee to secure the win. This victory marks the Mets' first playoff series win since 2015, as they continue their unexpected postseason journey.
