New York first baseman Pete Alonso matched the National League rookie record with his 39th home run, and pitcher Marcus Stroman earned his first victory since joining the team as the visiting Mets outslugged the Atlanta Braves 10-8 on Thursday. Alonso connected for a 451-foot three-run homer in the first inning against Atlanta starter Julio Teheran to match the record set in 2018 by Cody Bellinger of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Aaron Judge holds the major league rookie record with 52 homers in 2017.
