Overview

  • Alonso’s 4-for-5 performance marked his first four-hit game since August 2024 and lifted his RBI total to 90 for the season.
  • His 251st career homer on Monday brought him within one of Darryl Strawberry’s franchise record of 252 long balls.
  • He leads the Mets with 25 home runs this year and posts a team-best .328/.440/.724 slash line with runners in scoring position.
  • After striking out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning of a 7–6 extra-innings defeat, he and manager Carlos Mendoza stressed the positives of New York’s five-run comeback.
  • Mendoza credits Alonso’s relentless routine of film study, detailed note-taking and extra batting practice for fueling his sustained power and clutch hitting.
