Pete Alonso supplies power again in Mets’ thumping of Cardinals
NY Post
ST. LOUIS — Pete Alonso is off to a nice start in defending his NL Player of the Month title.
After receiving the honor Friday for his March/April performance, the slugging first baseman was back inflicting damage to help end the Mets’ two-game skid.
The Mets played to plenty of contact on this night, but Alonso’s fifth-inning homer provided firepower in a 9-3 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Alonso launched the go-ahead blast in helping the Mets win their ninth straight game against the Cardinals dating to last season.
It’s the Mets’ longest winning streak against their former division foe.
“It’s a long season, but it’s a good month, and I just want to keep this up and keep doing what I can to help win games,” said Alonso, who posted a 1.131 OPS in March/April to carry a lineup that was slow in getting started offensively.
