If there was ever a moment when Pete Alonso had his most recent signature moment with the Mets, it was in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 3 of the National League Wild Card Series — probably before he became a free agent. It was my last game in the league – that was it, without a doubt.
With one out in the 9th inning, Alonso hit a three-run homer, and the Mets' offense remained silent for most of the night, but they turned a two-run deficit into a one-run lead, resulting in a thrilling 4-2 game. Ta. Wednesday night's win restored the season and advanced the Amazons to the regional round against the Phillies.
His explosiveness broke the consecutive home runs allowed to Jose Butt in the 7th inning, and Jake Bowers and Sal Frelich connected with home runs against Butt on the mound, breaking Milwaukee's consecutive home runs allowed in the seventh inning. It was useful. Jose Quintana opened the Mets with six scoreless innings.
