Pete Alonso Hits 300th Home Run in Dramatic Game Against Mets

Pete Alonso reached a significant milestone by hitting his 300th career home run on Tuesday night, tying the game in the ninth inning against the New York Mets, his former team. The Baltimore Orioles ultimately secured a 7-5 victory in 11 innings, highlighted by Coby Mayo's inside-the-park homer.

Alonso's milestone came with a 414-foot solo shot off pitcher Kodai Senga, marking his first hit in the series after seven unsuccessful plate appearances. The crowd at Citi Field, numbering 28,097, responded enthusiastically, chanting his name as he celebrated rounding the bases.

Mayo's decisive three-run homer in the 11th inning followed a 4-all tie, allowing him to score after the ball deflected off rookie A.J. Ewing's glove. The Orioles maintained their pursuit of a playoff spot, while the Mets faced their third consecutive loss, confirming a losing season.
