The New York Mets pulled off a stunning comeback Thursday night, thanks to the heroics of Pete Alonso. Alonso’s ninth-inning home run propelled the Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, securing their spot in the National League Division Series.
Trailing 2-0 with just two outs left, the Mets rallied against Devin Williams, with Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo setting the stage for Alonso’s game-changing blast. Starling Marte added an RBI single to seal the deal.
The win was a nail-biter for Mets fans, as the team had to overcome a late deficit and some shaky pitching. But Alonso’s historic homer, the first ever by a Met in a winner-take-all postseason game, proved to be the difference-maker.
Now, the Mets will face off against their NL East rival, the Philadelphia Phillies, in the NLDS. The series promises to be a thrilling matchup between two fierce competitors. Will the Mets continue their late-game magic, or will the Phillies prove to be too much to handle?
Stay tuned as the Mets and Phillies go head-to-head in what is sure to be an epic showdown.
