Pete Alonso homered twice to become the second player in Mets history with four 30-homer seasons, leading retooling New York to a victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night.
"I didn't know that until earlier — that's really cool, that's really special," Alonso said."Awesome, but I just want to help the team win."
The two-homer game was the second in the last four games for Alonso, who had just four homers in 30 games from June 7 through July 23 — a span that included a stint on the injured list with a bruised left wrist. "When you get it going again, somebody's going to pay — you always feel that with Pete," Mets manager Buck Showalter said."'OK, if I'm struggling, you're going to feel my pains somewhere along the way.'"
