NEW YORK -- Relieved he didn't break any bones when hit by a pitch a day earlier, Pete Alonso twice walked into the office of New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza after batting practice Thursday to say he was available to pinch hit.

Alonso came up with one of the more memorable hits in the team's sorry season.

Back from two days of scans on his right hand, Alonso doubled in the seventh inning and scored the tying run on Francisco Lindor's fourth hit of the game.
