Alonso went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-5 win over Atlanta.
It was a record-setting night for the All-Star first baseman, who passed Darryl Strawberry for the most home runs in Mets franchise history, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. After posting a miserable .548 OPS in the month of July, Alonso is heating back up in August. He's hitting .350 with six long balls, four doubles and 15 RBI across his first 40 at-bats of the month to bring his OPS to .880 for the season.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Surging to begin August
Rotowire
Alonso went 4-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to Cleveland.
Following a dreadful July that saw him post a .548 OPS over 85 at-bats, Alonso is quickly embarking on an early power surge to open August. The All-Star first baseman has three long balls in four outings so far this month, and Monday marked his seventh game of the year with at least four RBI.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Homers in second straight game
Rotowire
Alonso went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a double Saturday in a 12-6 victory versus the Giants.
Alonso set the tone for a big offensive night for the Mets when he cranked a three-run blast to center field in the first inning. The All-Star slugger has gone deep in each of his past two games following a rough 1-for-23 stretch at the plate. Alonso is up to 24 homers on the season as he seeks another campaign with at least 30 long balls -- the only time he hasn't reached that mark in his career was during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Should get start Monday
Rotowire
Alonso (hand) is expected to return to the starting lineup Monday against the Angels, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
The first baseman entered Sunday's win over the Reds in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement for Mark Vientos to keep his club-record consecutive games streak alive, and Alonso's hand contusion was never viewed by the Mets as a serious concern. The brief time off may end up doing the slugger some good, however -- through 62 plate appearances in July, Alonso's slashing just .176/.306/.392, although he does have three homers and 12 RBI.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Dealing with hand contusion
Rotowire
Alonso has been diagnosed with a right hand contusion near the base of his thumb, explaining his absence from the starting lineup Sunday versus Cincinnati, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
Importantly, X-rays on Alonso's hand came back negative, and he may be available to pinch hit. The slugger would need to do so in order to extend his franchise-record streak of 353 consecutive regular-season games played. It doesn't sound like the Mets are concerned that Alonso is dealing with a significant injury, so an IL stint doesn't seem likely.

Mets' Pete Alonso: Out of lineup Sunday
Rotowire
Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's tilt versus Cincinnati.
This is a very rare day off for Alonso -- the last time he wasn't included in a Mets starting lineup was May 30, 2024, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. The All-Star first baseman has also appeared in a franchise-record 353 straight regular-season contests, so he'd need to get into the game at some point Sunday to extend that streak. It's not yet certain why Alonso isn't starting, but he's been slumping of late, going 2-for-25 with eight strikeouts over his previous seven games. Mark Vientos is starting at first base for New York in the series finale against the Reds.

Alonso cleared the fence with a two-run shot in the fifth inning and added a three-run blast in the seventh. The pair of long balls pushed the powerful first baseman up to 20 homers on the year -- he's now reached that mark in each of his major-league campaigns aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Alonso had been seemingly due for a power display, as he entered Saturday with just one home run over his previous 23 games.
