Pete Alonso becomes Mets all-time home run leader with 253rd career blast against Braves

Pete Alonso is the new home run king of the New York Mets. 

In the bottom of the third inning, Alonso launched a two-run homer off Atlanta Braves starter Spencer Strider, a laser to right-center field that extended the team’s lead to 5-1. 

It was Alonso’s 253rd career home run, all of which have been with the Mets. He was tied with Darryl Strawberry for the most in a Mets uniform, but with that blast, he is the sole leader in their record books.
