Alonso hits 2 home runs vs Rockies

Pete Alonso powered the New York Mets to a decisive 9-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies, hitting two home runs and driving in three runs, as the Mets clinched the series. The win marked Alonso's 24th and 25th homers of the season, contributing significantly to the Mets' offensive efforts, which included a total of 14 hits and a strong pitching performance from David Peterson, who allowed just one earned run in five innings. This victory pushed the Mets ahead of the Atlanta Braves in the race for the National League's third wildcard spot, improving their record to 61-54. Alonso's performance, particularly his 471-foot home run, showcased his potential as he approaches free agency, despite an inconsistent season thus far. The Rockies, struggling with their ninth loss in 13 games, fell to a dismal 42-74 record, marking the worst in the National League.
