Pete Alonso has made significant strides towards becoming the all-time home run leader for the New York Mets, now just nine homers away from tying Darryl Strawberry's record. In a recent game against the Colorado Rockies, Alonso showcased his power by hitting two home runs, leading a strong offensive performance that saw the Mets win 13-5. With 17 home runs this season, Alonso now holds sole possession of second place on the franchise's all-time home run list, surpassing David Wright. Alongside Alonso, Jeff McNeil also contributed significantly with two home runs, while rookie Francisco Alvarez showed signs of improvement with a strong game.

The Mets' victory not only completed a season sweep of the Rockies, but also provided a much-needed boost ahead of an off day. Pitcher Tylor Megill earned the win, successfully navigating Coors Field's challenging environment, while Paul Blackburn made his return to the mound after a lengthy absence. The overall performance from the Mets reflects their offensive depth and the excitement surrounding Alonso's quest for history.
