Pete Alonso belts two homers as Mets roll past rival Dodgers
NY Post
LOS ANGELES — Pete Alonso is binging again.
The player who carried the Mets offensively for this season’s first month before hibernating for much of May, was without a multi-homer game this season as Wednesday’s play against the Dodgers began.
Two big swings later, Alonso’s “to do” list was an item shorter.
Alonso homered twice and drove in five runs — tying him for the NL lead in RBIs — in carrying the Mets to a 6-1 victory at Dodger Stadium.
After hitting a two-run blast in the first inning, Alonso delivered the knockout punch with a three-run shot in the eighth, allowing the Mets a measure of comfort after two straight nights needing a 10th inning to decide the outcome.
The Mets, who won for the fifth time in six games, rebounded from their walkoff Tuesday loss by refusing to provide oxygen to the Dodgers.
