Overview

• Alonso’s three-run shot in the sixth inning cut Cleveland’s lead to 5-3 and ignited New York’s rally.
• He went 4-for-5 with four RBIs, including an RBI single in the eighth, before striking out in a bases-loaded ninth.
• The Mets squandered a five-run comeback and fell 7-6 in ten innings on Gabriel Arias’s walk-off sacrifice fly.
• Alonso now sits one homer behind Darryl Strawberry’s 252, a record set between 1983 and 1990 that has stood for over three decades.
• With an opt-out clause in his deal, Alonso’s impending free agency decision this winter could reshape the Mets’ future lineup.
