The Mets brought the power to Atlanta in the form of two home runs by Amed Rosario and Pete Alonso. Alonso’s massive blast certainly stole the spotlight, but Rosario had four RBIs on the night and gave the Mets the lead early. Despite being let down by his defense, Steven Matz settled down and pitched his best game of the season. The bullpen bent but didn’t break and the Mets walked away with the victory.
Pete Alonso could just be making his debut this weekend, but instead he has rewarded the Mets’ faith in him (paywall alert).
