Alonso connected for a 451-foot, three-run homer in the first inning against Atlanta starter Julio Teheran (7-8) to match the record set in 2017 by Cody Bellinger of the Los Angeles Dodgers. He also went 5-for-5, his first career five-hit game, and drove in a career-high six runs. The Braves rallied to score four runs via three home runs in the ninth inning and forced the Mets to insert closer Edwin Diaz.
