ATLANTA — Charlie Morton went to find Pete Alonso and apologize for hitting him with a pitch that knocked the Mets slugger out of the game.
Alonso appreciated the gesture.
"He came up after I got X-rayed," Alonso said after the Braves beat the Mets 7-5 on Wednesday night. "He was looking for me. He just wanted to apologize. Obviously he didn't mean to. For people speculating for this or that, I just wanted to clear that. Chuckie's a good guy and the situation didn't call for it either. There's nothing to it.
