New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso hit his 252nd career home run on 9 Aug 2025, matching Darryl Strawberry for the most in franchise history. The solo shot opened the scoring and gave the Mets an early 1–0 lead. Alonso, who debuted with the club in 2019, reached the mark in his seventh Major League season. Strawberry’s record had stood for more than three decades. Alonso now needs one more homer to become the Mets’ outright leader.
