On the evening of October 3rd, the New York Mets, part of Major League Baseball’s National League East, pulled off a thrilling 4-2 comeback victory against the Milwaukee Brewers in Milwaukee, securing a crucial win during the Wild Card phase of the playoffs.
The postseason is set to kick off on October 5th, and fans in the New York metro area are buzzing with excitement. Both the New York Yankees and the Mets have clinched playoff spots and are preparing to face their opponents at home.
Meanwhile, in the Midwest and West Coast, the Chicago White Sox and Cubs find themselves missing out on playoff action, while the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to shine, contrasting with the downtrodden Los Angeles Angels.
In their three encounters with the Brewers, the Mets delivered a standout performance in Game 3, scoring four runs in the ninth inning to overturn their deficit and emerge victorious.
Leading the charge for the Mets was first baseman Peter Alonso, who came through in the clutch during the ninth inning. With a count of one ball and three strikes, he smashed a three-run homer to right-center field, traveling an impressive 367 feet and turning the tide for the team.
At just 29 years old, Alonso’s free agency is on the horizon after this season, and he’s already being courted by teams like the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres, and Seattle Mariners.
Alonso made his MLB debut on March 28, 2019, and has since played 846 games for the Mets, amassing an impressive 226 home runs.
As the Mets prepare for the next stage of the playoffs, they’ll be up against the Philadelphia Phillies from Pennsylvania.
