Is Pete Alonso the centerpiece of Mets’ offense?

For the first time since 2016, the Mets are headed back to the postseason. New York secured this opportunity with a road win against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday. It was supposed to be a pitcher’s duel between Max Scherzer and Corbin Burnes. First baseman Pete Alonso made sure that wasn’t the case with this three-run tank in the top of the fourth.

After adding yet another three-run homer on Tuesday night, Alonso’s season-long RBI total is at 121.
