Pete Alonso Hits 300th Career Home Run Against Former Team New York Mets in Baltimore Orioles Victory

Pete Alonso, former New York Mets first baseman, returned to Citi Field with the Baltimore Orioles for a three-game series. He received a warm welcome from fans and owner Steve Cohen, who told him, "This is your home." In the second game, Alonso hit his 300th career home run, a ninth-inning tying blast off Kodai Senga, helping the Orioles win 7-5. The series, dubbed "Pete Week," also highlighted fan frustration with Mets management for letting Alonso leave. Alonso had a strong season with the Orioles, but the team was already eliminated from playoff contention.
