The bases were loaded in the fifth when Pete Alonso strode to the plate as the tying run. The man who saved the season last year was once again facing the possibility that this would be his last game in a Mets uniform, and there was a sort of steeliness to his gait - a lumbering presence that made it feel as if this deeply unmagical season might have some spark yet.

Pete Alonso bailed out an unreliable bullpen with a three-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift New York to a 5-2 victory on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The win snaps a heinous eight-game losing streak that saw the Mets (77-73) temporarily fall out of a playoff spot, though Sunday's result temporarily gives them a one-game lead over the San Francisco Giants for the third and final National League Wild Card spot.

I still feel awful because, for me, I'm just trying to make a baseball play. I tried to make the best throw I could and it just sucks.

Devin Williams notably struck out Pete Alonso in the Yankees' win over the Mets, showcasing his improvement after a challenging start to his New York tenure.

Torkelson struggled so profoundly last year -- a .669 OPS, 10 homers and 105 strikeouts in 92 games -- that he entered 2025 without a clear path for playing time.
