Pete Alonso has been at his best when it matters the most, raising his play when the moment calls for it.
After the Mets dropped three of four to the Braves, a divisional matchup with the rising Phillies certainly mattered, so the first baseman responded.
Alonso drove in his 100th run and crushed his 30th home run of the season to jump-start the Mets on Friday night in a 7-2 victory at Citizens Bank Park, where the Mets bounced back nicely after dropping their first series to an NL East opponent this year.Pete Alonso hits a two-run home run against the Phillies during the third inning Friday night in Philadelphia.Pete Alonso celebrates his two-run home with Starling Marte on Friday night in Philadelphia.
In the first inning, Alonso got the job done with an assist to Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm. The Mets had runners on the corners with one out, and Alonso knocked a ground ball to Bohm, whose throw to second base skipped into right field. There was less luck involved in the third inning, when Alonso – with two outs and Starling Marte on third – drilled a homer to left off Aaron Nola. Alonso had three RBIs before the Phillies had one.
Alonso has sizzled in the clutch, raising his OPS to 1.125 with runners in scoring position, the seventh-best in baseball upon the completion of the game.
