ATLANTA — The Mets were an angry bunch Thursday night at SunTrust Park.
The 6-4 loss Wednesday night frustrated them to no end and they were determined to leave little to chance.
Or questionable managerial decisions.
Competitive fire was on display from the start as Pete Alonso blasted a 451-foot three-run home run in the first inning, tying Cody Bellinger for the most homers ever hit in the NL by a rookie with 39, the first of Alonso’s five hits.
Amed Rosario continued his Jeff McNeil-leadoff impersonation with five hits of his own, a career high, and Todd Frazier lifted his 16th home run of the season in the Mets’ 10-8, 23-hit victory over the Braves to salvage the final game of the series.
