NEW YORK -- The Mets needed some kind of spark, anything after falling to a season-worst three games below .500 on Tuesday night. On Wednesday, it came in the form of a Pete Alonso walk-off homer, electrifying the Mets for the team's best moment of the season.
Alonso hit his fourth career walk-off homer in a 10-inning, 8-7 victory over the juggernaut Tampa Bay Rays, a back-and-forth contest that saw the Mets' bullpen allow six runs in four innings.
"We had plenty of comeback wins last year, but we're a different team," Alonso said.
