    Mets' Pete Alonso: Launches 40th homer

    Alonso went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Marlins.

Alonso has homered in three straight games and five of the last seven, driving in an incredible 16 runs during that power surge. In addition to now holding the franchise's single-season record for RBI at 131, the 27-year-old has recorded his second career campaign with at least 40 home runs.

    Casas went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-9 victory over the Orioles.

    Casas launched a two-run homer off Kyle Bradish in the bottom of the second frame before he walked and came around to score in the following frame. He added two more base knocks while coming around to score again later in the contest. The home run was his fifth of the season and third in his last six games. Over that stretch, Casas has batted .389 with three home runs, six RBI and seven runs. The 22-year-old is now batting .179 with five homers, 10 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base over his fist 56 career at-bats in 20 games.

    Goldschmidt drove in a run on a sacrifice fly in the first frame before ripping an RBI single off Trevor Gott in the top of the fifth and stealing second base. He later added a double in the seventh inning, his 41st two-bagger of the year. Goldschmidt came into Tuesday's contest in a 4-for-27 cold spell over his previous seven games, but he still owns a .318 average with 35 homers, 114 RBI, 103 runs and seven stolen bases over 146 games in 2022.

The first baseman has struggled to produce a consistent batting average, but he has compiled six home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over his last 14 games.

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: First big-league stolen base

    Arias went 1-for-3 with two walks, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in a 6-5 extra-innings loss Tuesday against Tampa Bay.

    Arias had an RBI single in the fourth and walked, stole a base and scored in the eighth. It was his first stolen base in the majors after he swiped six in the minors this year. The 22-year-old was just 2-for-19 in his first two stints for Cleveland but has performed better since being recalled Sept. 25 and is 2-for-7 with three walks and three RBI in two games. With the Guardians having already clinched the division, Arias may get some playing time over the final week as the team rests its starters in advance of the postseason.
