Tuesday night belonged to New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, who in the bottom of the third inning — during his second at-bat of the night — launched a home run to right-center field for his 253rd career blast in a Mets uniform.

After flirting with the possibility for weeks, Pete Alonso finally stood alone as the Mets’ all-time home-run king when he slugged his 253rd career homer, surpassing Darryl Strawberry for the most in Mets history.
