The New York Mets sit atop the NL East in large part because of the bat of Pete Alonso. The Mets first baseman has been sensational through the first two months of the season, but any player will have moments he wants back across a 162-game season. Unfortunately for Alonso, he had one on a national broadcast against the crosstown rival New York Yankees in the Bronx on Sunday night.
With runners at second and third and just one out in the bottom of the eighth, Alonso fielded a ground ball hit by Jordan Vivas, and looked to get the out at home, as Jasson Dominguez charged to the plate to try and put the Yankees up 3–2. He should've had a chance at the out, but sailed the throw well over the head of catcher Francisco Alvarez, allowing the go-ahead run to score.
