Pete Alonso and Kodai Senga lead the Mets to victory over the Cubs, ending their six-game losing streak. Despite a disappointing season, the Mets played like a playoff-worthy team for the day.
For a day, the Mets played like a team that should be ticketed for the postseason, even if their record reflected the disappointment that 2023 has been.
The Mets survived the Cubs and a 2-hour, 9-minute rain delay in a game that started Monday and finished in the early hours of Tuesday. Danny Mendick added a three-run home run, and Alonso smacked an RBI double against soft-tossing Tucker Barnhart, typically a catcher. Alonso drove in six and came through with his 18th career multi-homer game, third in franchise history behind only Darryl Strawberry and David Wright .Alonso’s first blast, a three-run shot off Drew Smyly in the first inning, got the Mets going, and his second, a two-run homer in the third, created distance their staff did not need.
The 30-year-old again relied upon his ghost forkball, which has been untouchable all season, to record three of his six strikeouts.Jason Szenes for the NY PostHe received a break to escape the fifth inning.
