5 years agoNew York Mets first baseman Peter Alonso joined Aaron Judge as the only rookies to hit 50 home runs in a season, crushing a towering 437-foot blast in the eighth inning of an 8-1 victory over the Reds on Friday night. After a brief home run drought of seven games, Alonso has now gone deep in three straight contests and is currently pacing the major leagues in the category. Alonso and the Mets will be back at it again in Cincinnati on Saturday afternoon, set to face off against Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani.--Nicklaus Gaut - RotoBaller
