NEW YORK — Pete Alonso’s 10th-inning leadoff, walk-off, two-run homer gave the Mets a 7-6 victory over the Cardinals on Thursday afternoon at Citi Field.
The Mets were trailing 6-5 entering the bottom of the 10th with the extra-inning ghost runner on second when Alonso unloaded on the no-doubt game-winner to left off St. Louis closer Giovanny Gallegos.
Alonso has 10 home runs and leads the majors with 36 RBIs. It was his third career walk-off homer.
