Mets First Baseman Pete Alonso Admits Error in 8-2 Subway Series Loss to Yankees

The New York Mets suffered a significant 8-2 loss to the New York Yankees in the Subway Series, largely due to a critical error by Mets first baseman Pete Alonso in the eighth inning. With the game tied 2-2 and runners on second and third, Alonso's throw home to catcher Francisco Alvarez sailed over his head, allowing the go-ahead run to score and shifting momentum to the Yankees. Following Alonso's error, the Yankees capitalized with a grand slam from Cody Bellinger, which helped put the game out of reach. Alonso took full responsibility for the loss, describing his throw as 'awful' and acknowledging that the inning's momentum swung after his mistake. Despite this defensive misstep, Alonso remains an early National League MVP candidate due to his strong offensive performance this season. The Mets, who lead the NL East, will look to recover quickly as they prepare to face the Boston Red Sox.
