After flirting with the possibility for weeks, Pete Alonso finally stood alone as the Mets’ all-time home-run king when he slugged his 253rd career homer, surpassing Darryl Strawberry for the most in Mets history.

The Brewers were familiar with Alonso’s torment. American Family Field was where he hit the go-ahead homer in Game 3 of last year’s NL Wild Card series, clinching the first round for the Mets and sending them to the NLDS for the first time since 2015.
