In a pivotal moment for the New York Mets, Pete Alonso broke out of a slump with a crucial three-run homer in the ninth inning, leading his team to a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Wild Card Series. This win propels the Mets into the Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Alonso's late-game heroics came after a challenging season, where he had not hit an extra-base hit in weeks. His emotional response highlighted the pressure of potentially playing his last game for the Mets, as he is a pending free agent.
