The Brewers were familiar with Alonso’s torment. American Family Field was where he hit the go-ahead homer in Game 3 of last year’s NL Wild Card series, clinching the first round for the Mets and sending them to the NLDS for the first time since 2015.

Pete Alonso hit a two-run home run against the Braves on Tuesday night, moving him past Darryl Strawberry and into first place on the Mets' all-time homer list.

Pete Alonso stood in the Mets dugout and tipped his helmet, absorbing the standing ovation he was receiving. It was the third inning in the Mets’ 13-5 blowout win over the Braves on Tuesday night at Citi Field, and Alonso had just cleared the fence in right-center against Atlanta’s Spencer Strider to become the franchise’s all-time home run leader.
