Pete Alonso hit his 251st career homer Monday night to pull within one of Darryl Strawberry's New York Mets franchise record, but the Cleveland Guardians earned a 7-6, 10-inning win after squandering a five-run lead.

The polar power continued in the bottom of the eighth. Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto singled off right-hander Hunter Gaddis to lead off, once again putting runners on the corners with no outs for Alonso. This time, all he needed was a ball in play. A line drive down the left side did the trick, and Lindor came home easily to make it 5-4.
