Pete Alonso broke the Mets’ franchise home run record Tuesday night, helping the team snap a seven-game losing streak. Alonso’s two homers, including a two-run shot in the third inning that moved him ahead of Darryl Strawberry on the all-time list, led the Mets to a 13-5 victory over the Braves. The win marked a turning point for the team, which trailed by five lengths behind the Phillies in the NL East race. Alonso’s achievement was met with emotion from manager Carlos Mendoza, who said the slugger’s joy was palpable as he received his first curtain call. With six homers in 10 games, Alonso is a force to be reckoned with in the Mets’ playoff push.
