Pete Alonsocontinues to rise up the Mets’ all-time home run list.

On Sunday afternoon at Coors Field, Alonso belted a two-run home run to left-center to put the Mets ahead 4-0 on the Colorado Rockies in the top of the third inning. The blast from Alonso was No. 242, tying David Wright for second on the franchise’s all-time list and trailing only Darryl Strawberry, who logged 252 long balls in a Mets uniform.

Then, in the eighth inning, the Mets' slugger took sole possesion of second place, crushing a two-run shot down the left field line for No. 243 to put the team up 12-3. The pair of two-run dingers also bumped Alonso's season RBI to a league-leading 61.
