Pete Alonso scored the longest domestic run of his career on Sunday night, when his two run shots in the first innings won the New York Mets 3–1 over Los Angeles Dojers in a three-game rubber game.
Met’s opener dropped the opener of Friday 7–5 in 13–5 innings before winning the last two matches of Remach in the last two matches of the last year’s National League Championship series. Dozers have lost six of the nine.
Shohei Ohtani, who threw his first live batting exercise on Sunday afternoon after undergoing a second Tommy John surgery in September 2023, hit a 411-foot homer on the second pitch, which he saw with Kodai Sangga (5-3), before the Mates gave two-outs of the right hand with two-outs (2-2) with two-outs, two-out rally.
Juan Soto reached an error by the third basman Max Munsi, after which Alonso took the left region seats. The round-tripper was the first for Alonso after May 5, showing the period of 16 sports and 71 plates in which he batted only .175 (11 of 63).
Alonso’s previous longest domestic run drought was a 15-game stretch from 28 April to 14 May 2021.
Mets took advantage of another dosers error to score their final runs in the third. Francisco Lindor led a single, ranked third when Shortstop Muki Bates uprooted the second base on a potentially double-play grounder by Mark Vietos and when Soto’s grounder forced another.
Six players hit a hit app for Mates.
Sangga left one run on five hits and four walks, while 5 came out of five in innings. The right hand walked out of each other and thirds, first there was no jam after Ohtani’s Homer, when Tyron Taylor tried to score Bates at third place on Will Smith’s flyout, before Seng killed Taser Hernandez.
Reid Garte added Rhin Stanac and Max Kranik for 2 2/3 hitless innings for 2 2/3 hitless innings before earning their first savings by killing two in one-night ninth.
Freddy Freeman had two hits for doors.
Naik conceded three runs on three hits and did not walk any, while a season-high set out of five in six innings.
