Coming into this game, Pete Alonso was hitting .111 through three games. It was too early to panic, but it was still great to see him put together a complete performance on Monday. Alonso had two hits and four RBIs. He is now hitting .231.

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

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.
