Alonso Blasts First Homer in Orioles Spring Debut, Securing 2-0 Win

Pete Alonso launched his first home run as a Baltimore Oriole in his spring training debut Friday, a powerful blast over the left-center-field fence against Bradley Hanner in the sixth inning. The homer provided the only runs in a 2-0 exhibition victory over the Yankees. Alonso, who signed a $155 million, five-year deal in December after seven seasons with the Mets, expressed immense satisfaction, stating he "couldn't feel any better" and felt "honored to wear" the uniform. He also sought extra work at first base and another plate appearance.
