**MIAMI, FL –** Pete Alonso reignited his offensive power in Miami, leading the New York Mets to a thrilling 6-5, 11-inning victory over the Marlins on Wednesday. After a slow start to the season, Alonso put on a hitting clinic, going 3-for-4 with four RBIs, including a game-tying, three-run home run in the eighth inning that rocketed off his bat at 113.4 mph.

Alonso’s performance was crucial for the Mets, who struggled offensively throughout the series. His four RBIs matched Miami’s total for the entire game. He also contributed a crucial walk to start the two-run rally in the 11th inning. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Alonso’s improved plate discipline, noting his ability to control the strike zone and make solid contact.

While Alonso shone, the Mets’ defense continued to struggle, with another error contributing to a Miami run. The team’s overall batting average was a low .220, and they struggled with runners in scoring position. Other consistent offensive contributors for the Mets have been Brandon Nimmo, Luis Torrens, and Juan Soto.

Despite the team’s struggles, Alonso’s performance provided a much-needed boost of momentum heading into their home opener against Toronto on Friday. Alonso expressed his excitement about returning to Citi Field and playing in front of the Mets fans.
