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.

The home run was the 253rd of Alonso's career, moving him past a tie with franchise great Darryl Strawberry for the most in Mets history. Alonso broke the record in front of an appreciative Citi Field home crowd that celebrated the achievement with a standing ovation.

Pete Alonso broke the Mets’ franchise home run record, going deep twice and knocking in three runs as New York beat the Atlanta Braves 13-5 on Tuesday night.
