NEW YORK -- Pete Alonso hit a three-run walk-off home run off Luis Curvelo, and the New York Mets stopped an eight-game losing streak with a 5-2 victory against the Texas Rangers on Sunday.
New York reopened a 1 1/2-game lead over San Francisco for the last National League wild-card spot.
"We need them all at this point," Alonso told reporters after the game. "No matter whether it's today, tomorrow or however many games we have left, we need as many games as we can. We've just got to do the best we can to stack 'em.
