Pete Alonso finally busts out of slump as Mets storm past Cardinals
NY Post
ST. LOUIS — Pete Alonso sure resembled Pete Alonso on Tuesday, with two big swings that might have signaled he’s back.
After Brandon Nimmo’s mammoth home run tied the game in the fifth inning and hits from Starling Marte and Francisco Lindor followed, Alonso launched a shot to right-center and was soon standing on second base thumping his chest and gesturing toward his teammates in the dugout.
Alonso’s double knocked in the go-ahead runs.
For good measure he smashed a ninth-inning homer, helping the Mets to a 7-5 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.
Alonso, who entered in a 1-for-30 skid, snapped a hitless streak of 12 at-bats with his double.
The Mets scored all but one of their runs in that frantic fifth inning in which they sent 11 batters to the plate.
Just to get the formalities out of the way, Juan Soto officially declined the qualifying offer by Tuesday’s deadline.
