Pete Alonso turned in a productive game in a 6-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Alonso went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a double but it wasn't enough to overcome the Twins. The veteran infielder kicked off the scoring in the game with a solo homer in the first, a shot that traveled 416 feet with an exit velocity of 106.9 MPH. Alonso is off to a great start this season, hitting .356 with five homers, 11 runs, and 20 RBI through 59 at-bats. While the batting average won't last as he's never hit over .271 in his career, Alonso remains an elite source for homers and RBI in all fantasy leagues.

Pete Alonso went 1-for-3 with a two-run blast and a walk during their victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday afternoon in their home opener. Alonso wasted little time as he went deep in the opening frame off Toronto right-hander
Kevin Gausman. This blast also scored shortstop
Francisco Lindor, who hit a leadoff double. Alonso would cross home plate again later in the sixth inning on a
Starling Marte sacrifice fly. Since tallying just one hit in the first three contests of the regular season, Alonso has gone 6-for-15 at the plate with three home runs, two doubles and 10 RBI over his last four games. The 30-year-old has a disappointing 2024 campaign, to his standards, as he held a .240/.329/.459 line with 34 home runs. He will look to continue this hot stretch on Saturday, facing Toronto right-hander
Chris Bassitt.

Pete Alonso came up clutch for his team during Wednesday's game against the Miami Marlins. Alonso kicked off the game with an RBI double in the first inning. It only got better from there as Alonso blasted a clutch game-tying three-run home run in the eighth inning that would send the game to extra innings. He finished his day 3-for-4 at the plate with four RBI in the 6-5 win in 11 innings. The Mets offense hasn't been great to start the season, but Alonso has been solid with two homers and eight RBI in six games.

Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a walk and a grand slam in a 10-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday. Alonso launched his first homer of the season off
Cal Quantrill in the fifth inning to break the game open and give the Mets a 6-1 lead. The shot traveled 400 feet and had an exit velocity of 105.9 MPH. Alonso is off to a slow start through his first four games of the season as he came into the game with just one hit on the young season. After Monday's performance, Alonso is hitting .231 with one homer, two runs, and four RBI through 13 at-bats. He will hope Monday's performance kick-starts his bat moving forward.
