NEW YORK — New York Mets star first baseman Pete Alonso entered Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds in the seventh inning to extend his team record for consecutive games played to 354. Alonso’s streak appeared to be in jeopardy when he did not start Sunday’s 3-2 win over the Reds due to a right hand contusion.

Prior to the ninth inning drama and Alonso's game-saving play, the Mets scored both of their runs in the sixth. Third baseman Mark Vientos dove both runs home with a clutch two-run double. This came after New York trailed 1-0 after the Giants scored their only run in the fourth.
