Pete Alonso gets another ovation from Mets fans after hitting latest homer in return to Citi Field
New York Mets fans greeted Pete Alonso with applause as he hit another home run against his former team on Wednesday night. The first-year player scored his 300th career homer in the ninth inning for the Orioles, tying the game and earning cheers from the 28,097 fans present at Citi Field. Alonso's at-bat involved a 74 mph curveball hit 410 feet into the second deck in left.
The attendance was lower than for his Monday return, but the fans still chanted his name as he rounded the bases, marking a bittersweet moment for the celebrated first baseman.
