Pete Alonso Becomes Mets' All-Time Home Run King with Record-Breaking Night

Pete Alonso made New York Mets franchise history on Tuesday night, hitting his 253rd and 254th career home runs against the Atlanta Braves. His 253rd homer, a two-run shot off Spencer Strider in the third inning, officially surpassed Darryl Strawberry's 37-year-old franchise record. Alonso's two-homer game also marked his 25th multi-homer performance, lifting his season total to 28 home runs, and contributed significantly to the Mets' 13-5 victory which snapped their seven-game losing streak.
