Overview

  • Alonso’s second-inning blast off Brewers pitcher Tobias Myers marked his 252nd career homer and matched a record set in 1990 by Darryl Strawberry.
  • The milestone drive was Alonso’s 26th this season and came in 143 fewer games than Strawberry needed to reach the same total.
  • In June, Alonso moved past David Wright for second place on the Mets’ all-time list with a two-homer performance in Colorado.
  • Now ranked 23rd among active players in career home runs, Alonso trails only teammate Francisco Lindor, who has 269 homers.
  • With 46 games remaining in the regular season, Alonso is on pace to break the franchise record and claim sole possession of the lead.
