Mets first baseman Pete Alonso broke the team's career home run record in the third inning of New York's Tuesday game against the visiting Atlanta Braves -- then went deep again in the sixth.
The third-inning shot, a two-run homer against Spencer Strider, gave Alonso 253 long balls in his seven-season career. Darryl Strawberry clouted 252 in his eight-year tenure with the franchise, 1983-90.
With Brandon Nimmo aboard after a two-out single, Alonso lined a first-pitch fastball over the right-center-field wall for his 27th homer of the year. The crowd at Citi Field erupted and Alonso shared hugs with many players and manager Carlos Mendoza following the blast.
Alonso set the record in his 965th game -- 144 fewer than Strawberry. The milestone homer gave New York a 5-1 lead.
In the sixth, Alonso belted a solo shot against reliever Austin Cox. The Mets first baseman, who doubled in the first inning, finished 3-for-5 with three RBIs as New York prevailed 13-5, ending a seven-game losing streak.
