Pete Alonso tied the Mets’ franchise single-season home-run mark with HR No. 252, a 413-foot shot off Tobias Myers in the second inning that gave New York a 1-0 lead. It’s his 26th homer of the year, part of a four-HR burst in eight games since Aug. 1. Alonso’s milestone comes amid a season of durability and elite power, and it sits in the same Milwaukee ballpark where he delivered a defining October moment with a ninth-inning, go-ahead blast off Devin Williams to push the Mets past the Brewers in the Wild Card Series. The contract talk remains favorable for Alonso, a $54 million, two-year deal with a 2026 option likely to be declined as he continues to post big numbers. The narrative also places Machado and Trout as the lone active stars leading their current franchises in homers, with Stanton noted as Miami’s all-time mark before his Yankees tenure. The piece closes by contrasting Alonso’s era-tying achievement with Arizona and San Diego’s lack of a 252-homer club, framing a season full of franchise milestones and fantasy implications.
