US EditionMets’ Manager, Teammates React to ‘Special’ Pete Alonso Milestone
NEW YORK, AUG 2 – Pete Alonso hit his 250th career home run as the Mets broke their four-game losing streak with a 12-6 win, driving back into first place in the National League East.
- The New York Mets defeated the San Francisco Giants 12–6 at Citi Field in Queens, New York, ending their four-game losing streak on Aug. 2, 2025.
- Before Saturday's game, New York Mets entered with all four sluggers mired in offensive slumps, despite the trade deadline upgrade to their bullpen.
- Sparked by Alonso’s bat, the Mets first baseman hit a 427-foot, three-run homer, and Nimmo and Lindor added key RBIs, ending their four-game skid.
- Supporting the starters, the bullpen held San Francisco scoreless from the fifth through eighth innings, Brandon Nimmo said, "Honestly, you want Kodai to go as far as he possibly can, but for him to have the ability to not have his greatest stuff today and our bullpen to be able pick him up the way that they did, it's huge."
- Looking ahead to Sunday’s finale, New York will face Frankie Montas versus Carson Whisenhunt after a Phillies loss moved the Mets into first place in the NL East.
