Pete Alonso hit his 251st career homer Monday night to pull within one of Darryl Strawberry’s New York Mets franchise record, but the Cleveland Guardians earned a 7-6, 10-inning win after squandering

Pete Alonso is one homer away from history. Monday night against the Guardians, Alonso sent another ball to the stands in the bottom of the sixth inning for the 251st of his career — all with the Mets.
