Pete Alonso is now simply 9 house runs from tying Darryl Strawberry for the Mets’ all-time membership house run report, and 10 from taking the title.

The primary baseman was one in every of 4 Mets hitters to homer in a 13-5 win over the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon at Coors Area, with Alonso and Jeff McNeil every hitting two dingers, whereas Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez every hit one, and Juan Soto reached base six instances. Tylor Megill earned the win and right-hander Paul Blackburn pitched out of the bullpen for the primary time this season, going 4 innings for a save.

The Mets (42-24) accomplished a season sweep of the Rockies, lastly getting the massive offensive sport they’ve been in search of, however it was Alonso who moved up within the report books with each of his house runs.

Alonso’s first house run tied him David Wright for second all-time in franchise historical past, and along with his second, he took sole possession of second place. Within the high of the third with the Mets up 2-0 and Soto on second, right-hander Chase Dollander threw a 1-1 cutter that didn’t fairly minimize the best way it might need if it wasn’t for Coors Area’s altitude. Alonso drove it 416 ft to left-center subject, giving the Mets a 4-0 lead.

Tyrone Taylor‘s RBI double off Dollander in the same inning made it 5-0. Dollander (2-6) finished the inning, but wouldn’t return for the fourth, ending with 5 earned runs on eight hits, strolling one, placing out three and being charged with an error making an attempt to select off Soto.

The Rockies (12-53) went to right-hander Juan Mejia, however he wasn’t any higher.

Up 5-0 within the fourth, McNeil hit his second of the sport and sixth of the season, a three-run shot that gave the Mets an eight-run lead. Colorado bought two again within the fifth, however the Mets saved going. Baty hit a two-run house run off right-hander Seth Halvorsen within the high of the seventh.

With the Amazins’ up 10-3 within the eighth, right-hander Tyler Kinley tried to go inside to Alonso with a fastball. The slugger turned on it, sending it over the left subject fence for one more two-run blast. He has 17 on the season, and his common is as much as .301.

Alvarez hit one within the ninth, a powerful signal of a turnaround for the catcher that has struggled to hit the onerous stuff this season. It was a 93.5 MPH cutter from right-hander Zach Agnos proper over the plate, and Alvarez didn’t miss and didn’t mistime it.

Megill struck out the facet within the first inning, organising a strong begin. He bumped into bother within the fifth, and the Mets used Blackburn to spare a bullpen that has lined a variety of innings in current days of their ultimate sport earlier than a much-needed off-day. In a tricky place to pitch, Megill dealt with the problem nicely, holding Colorado hitless over the primary 4 innings earlier than permitting two earned runs on three hits within the fifth. The large righty walked three and struck out 5 within the win (5-4)

This was at all times going to be the summer season of Alonso given how shut he was to reaching Strawberry’s report. Now, the countdown is now formally on in relation to turning into the Mets’ all-time house run king.
