Coming off of three straight losses, the Mets bounced back in a big way with their 10-8 victory over the Braves. Marcus Stroman captured a win as nine different Mets recorded hits while Pete Alonso led the charge with a rookie record six runs batted in on the night.
While Alonso’s 5-5 performance was certainly impressive, Amed Rosario’s 5-6 night with four runs scored shouldn’t be overlooked as the young shortstop ended up a home run short of completing the cycle. The dynamic duo became the first pair of Mets hitters ever to rack up five hits in a game.
