Mets Frustration Grows as Alonso's Citi Field Return Hits 300th Homer
Pete Alonso's ninth-inning homer tied the game as the Orioles beat the Mets 7-5 in 11 innings at Citi Field; in his first return to Citi Field as a visitor, Alonso hit his 300th career homer there, while Mets starter Sean Manaea said fans' reactions to an opposing homer were 'crazy to me' and Alonso seemed to relish the moment. Francisco Lindor urged fans to also show love to rookie pitcher Jonah Tong, who walked Alonso earlier. Interim manager Andy Green stressed that external noise should not affect performance. The Mets sit near the NL East cellar, and attendance over the first two games against Baltimore reached 63,097, the club's best two-game home stretch since Aug. 18-19 vs Padres.
