Pete Alonso hit his 250th career homer, Francisco Lindor drove in four runs and the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 12-6 on Saturday to end a four-game losing streak.
Alonso hit a 427-foot, three-run blast in the first inning to pulled within two of Darryl Strawberry's franchise record. The Giants scored the next four runs before Brandon Nimmo — who drove in three runs — and Lindor each had run-scoring singles in the fourth and sixth.
Nimmo extended New York's lead with an RBI single in the seventh and Lindor followed with a two-run double for the Mets, who moved a half-game ahead of Philadelphia in the NL East.
