Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is on the verge of making team history, and that became closer to reality on Saturday.
In the first inning of the Mets’ 12-6 win over the San Francisco Giants, Alonso crushed a three-run home run to left-center field off Kai-Wei Teng.
This was the 250th home run of Alonso’s career, making him the 23rd active player to reach that plateau.
More importantly, it pulls Pete within two of Darryl Strawberry’s Mets franchise home run record of 252.
It was Alonso’s 24th homer of the season, and the second straight game he has hit one. His solo shot on Friday night broke an 0-for-19 stretch.
Alonso now has 86 RBI on the season - fourth-most in MLB, behind only Kyle Schwarber and Eugenio Suarez, who each have 87, and Cal Raleigh, who leads the way with 88.
That puts him already within two of matching the 88 RBI he had last season. He has had 100 RBI three times in his career - 120 RBI in 2019, a career-high 131 in 2022, and 118 in ‘23.
2019 was also the year he set the MLB rookie record with 53 home runs. He had at least 40 a pair of other times, which won’t be a shock - 40 in 2022 and 46 in ‘23.
On Sunday night, Pete and his wife Haley, along with The Alonso Foundation, will be hosting their inaugural “Movie At The Park” charity event. It will feature a screening of an iconic baseball movie, along with food and drinks, plus much more. All proceeds from the event will benefit his foundation’s core mission of supporting underserved youth, veterans, and animal welfare initiatives.
