New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso marked his 300th career homer with a rare curtain call of his own against his former team, the Baltimore Orioles, at Citi Field. Alonso connected with a 414-foot homer off Kodai Senga in the ninth inning, tying the score 3-all. Coby Mayo followed with an inside-the-park home run in the 11th, sending the Orioles to a 7-5 victory.
After receiving a beer shower from his Orioles teammates, Alonso celebrated with a rare, on-the-road curtain call, as the 28,097-strong Queens crowd chanted his name and chanted "Fire Stearns." The Orioles manager, Craig Albernaz, noted the fired-up dugout, while New York pitcher Sean Manaea expressed disbelief at the fans' reaction.
Alonso received a two-minute tribute video and a bats-themed souvenir from Long Islanders who caught the milestone home run.
