Alonso’s grand slam was one of four homers hit by the Mets in a 10-4 demolition of the Marlins at loanDepot park. After three frustrating offensive games in Houston, where they managed only five runs total and lost twice, the Mets jumped all over right-hander Cal Quantrill in the fifth inning and coasted.

After re-signing with New York, Alonso worked on his swing over the winter. He “actually learned how to hit,” coach Eric Chavez said.

Pete Alonso is one step closer to becoming the Mets' all-time leader in home runs after the slugger's breakout game against the Marlins.
