ST. LOUIS — In a sport where the most successful players fail in most of their at-bats, Pete Alonso knows perfection is not possible. But that won’t stop him from trying.
Alonso hit the go-ahead home run in the Mets’ 9-3 win at St. Louis on Friday night to keep up his strong start.
“This game is really imperfect, and I never really truly feel like that it’s ever going to be perfect, but I just want to be able to strive for that perfection,” Alonso said.
Through 33 games, Alonso has an 1.137 OPS for the NL East-leading Mets.
