In a thrilling finish, Pete Alonso's three-run homer in the ninth inning propelled the New York Mets to a 4-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers, securing their spot in the NL Division Series. This marks the Mets' first playoff advancement since 2015.
Despite a strong performance from the Brewers, including back-to-back homers from Jake Bauers and Sal Frelick, they couldn't hold onto their lead. Alonso's pivotal home run not only showcased his talent but also made history as the first player to hit a go-ahead homer in a winner-take-all postseason game while trailing in the ninth.
