Pete Alonso belts homer in second straight as he closes in on Mets' all-time home run record
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Pete finally posted his first repeat in nearly two months to move ever closer to the all-time Mets home run record. Pete Alonso went yard for the second straight game after homering just once in his first 12 appearances since the All-Star break to help the Mets to a 12-6 victory Saturday over the Giants at Citi Field. Advertisement Alonso's three-run blast in the first inning was the 250th home run of his career, pulling him within two of tying Darryl Strawberry's long-standing club record of 252. Strawberry's total came in 1,109 games over eight seasons with the Mets from 1983-1990. 'It felt really special. I was just happy to help the team right there,' Alonso said. 'Honestly, I don't think about [passing Strawberry] a whole bunch. I just want to capitalize on opportunities when presented and help the team win. 4 Pete Alonso hits his 250th home run, a three-run shot in the first inning of the Mets' 12-6 win over the Giants at Citi Field on Aug. 2, 2025. JASON SZENES/ NY POST Advertisement 'I think the record is obviously something that is really special and it's meaningful, but now in the heat of it, I'm not really too focused on that or worried about it. I'm just focused on wins. We're in the thick of a playoff race right now, and I'll think of all the other stuff in the offseason, whenever I have time. Right now, this is all team-focused.' Alonso, who also doubled and walked as the Mets halted their four-game losing streak, needed 957 games to reach 250 homers. That's nearly a full season faster (157 fewer games) than Strawberry, who had his uniform number 18 retired by the Mets last season. Alonso joined Ralph Kiner, Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard and Eddie Mathews as the only players in MLB history to belt at least 250 home runs over their first seven big league campaigns.

He added a game-tying sacrifice fly against former teammate José Buttó one inning later. Alonso's three-run shot to left-center Saturday against Giants rookie Kai-Wei Teng in the home first — measuring 428 feet — marked the first time he has gone deep in consecutive games since June 4-5 against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Jason Szenes / New York Post It was the five-time All-Star first baseman's 24th homer of the season, one behind Juan Soto for the team lead. And it gave him a team-best 86 RBIs, behind only Kyle Schwarber and since-traded Eugenio Suárez (now with the Mariners) in the National League. Defensively, Alonso also made a diving stab and scrambled to beat Jung Hoo Lee to the bag for the second out of the eighth. 'Proud of him.

Rockies closer Seth Halvorsen suffers elbow injury in win over Pirates
Associated Press DENVER (AP) — The Colorado Rockies' win over Pittsburgh on Saturday was dampened with an elbow injury to closer Seth Halvorsen. The hard-throwing right-hander left after tossing five pitches in the ninth inning, and the initial outlook isn't encouraging. 'It don't look good,' interim manager Warren Schaeffer said. 'I'll let you know (Sunday).' Halvorsen, who leads the Rockies with 11 saves, was facing Pirates pinch hitter Spencer Horwitz to open the ninth and Colorado leading 8-4. He was ahead 0-2 in the count and then threw three straight balls, the last one at 99 mph. Immediately after that pitch he bent over and dangled his right arm, prompting Rockies head trainer Keith Duggar to jog to the mound to check on him. After a brief discussion Halvorsen left the game, with Dugan Darnell coming on to finish the 8-5 win. Schaeffer said Halvorsen wasn't experiencing problems entering Saturday's game. 'Not recently, but he was feeling something a while back, but he's been good for a while,' Schaeffer said. Halvorsen has been Colorado's main closer since the beginning of June and had converted nine of his last 10 opportunities, including his last six. Three of those have come after the All-Star break, which has helped the Rockies post a 7-6 record. Colorado, which is 30-80, is trying to avoid setting a modern era record for losses set by the 2024 Chicago White Sox, who were 41-121. recommended Item 1 of 3

Tanner Houck's lost year for Red Sox ends with Tommy John surgery
Tanner Houck's nightmare season officially came to an end on Saturday. Shortly before Boston's 7-3 win over the Astros on Saturday, Red Sox manager Alex Cora announced that Houck will undergo Tommy John surgery. 'Tanner's going to have Tommy John surgery,' Cora told reporters during his pregame press conference. 'He went to see Dr. [Keith] Meister there in Texas, and that was the recommendation.' 3 Red Sox starter Tanner Houck throws a pitch against the Tigers in a game earlier this season. AP Houck, 29, has been on the injured list since May because of a right flexor pronator strain, and was transferred to the 60-day IL on Thursday after a failed rehab stint. The right-hander was unable to replicate his success in 2024, going 0-3 with an abysmal 8.04 ERA through nine starts this season. Last year, Houck pitched to a 3.12 ERA with 154 strikeouts in 178⅔ innings, earning him his first trip to the All-Star game. Houck attempted to make a comeback earlier this season, but was only able to make five appearances between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, going 1-3 with a 5.74 ERA across the two levels. 3 Tanner Houck is pulled from the game by manager Alex Cora during the third inning of the Red Sox's 14-2 loss to the Tigers on May 12, 2025. Getty Images The St. Louis native was drafted by the Red Sox with the No. 24 overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft and has been in the majors since 2020. Despite the season-ending injury, Cora remained confident that Houck would be able to make a successful return. 'Tough year for him, tough year for us,' Cora said. 'But he'll kill the rehab, he'll do his job, and when he comes back, he's going to be OK.' 3 Tanner Houck walks to the dugout after being pulled in the third inning of the Red Sox's blowout loss to the Tigers on May 12, 2025. AP Houck is now the third starting pitcher for Boston to be out for the season, with Hunter Dobbins tearing his ACL in July and Kutter Crawford undergoing season-ending surgery on his wrist in June. Crawford's injury happened off the field according to Cora, but the manager clarified that it was not 'irresponsible.' 'It's just an accident,' Cora told reporters at the time. 'It just sucks that it happened this way. I'm not going to get into it, but it wasn't irresponsible.'
