Ten days ago, Pete Alonso was stuck in the longest home run drought of his career. Now, he looks like he’s hit a power surge. The 30-year-old clubbed two homers on Wednesday night, driving in five of the Mets’ six runs in their victory over the Dodgers.

Alonso wasted no time getting, smacking a first-pitch slider from Tony Gonsolin over the right field fence for a two-run homer, giving the Mets an early 3-0 lead. Gonsolin adjusted and didn’t throw Alonso another slider for the rest of his start, getting the big first baseman to pop out on an inside splitter in the third inning and getting a strikeout on another splitter in the fifth.

The Mets’ lineup went cold after that first inning, but got the first two men on base for Alonso against righty Ryan Loutos in the eighth. After whiffing through Loutos’ first fastball, Alonso didn’t miss the next one, as he clobbered it deep into the left field pavilion for a three-run homer. The ball was hit at 112.1 miles per hour and traveled 447 feet, the longest homer Alonso has hit this year.

“I just feel consistent, I just feel like myself,” Alonso said after the game. “I’ve felt pretty much myself the entire year so far, pitch to pitch and AB to AB, that’s all I’m trying to do, be the same guy every day.”

Alonso is now 12 home runs behind Darryl Strawberry to tie the franchise record, and two shy of tying David Wright for second place. Since snapping his home run drought, Alonso has gone 11-for-39 with five homers and 15 RBIs over 10 games. He is also tied with Seiya Suzuki for the NL lead in RBIs with 53. Alonso struck out 27 times in 69 plate appearances over that 16-game dry spell, but he’s struck out just six times in 43 plate appearances since.

In 2024, Alonso struggled with men on base, batting just .215/.325/.407 in those situations, and 20 of his 34 home runs were of the solo variety. This season, 10 of Alonso’s 14 homers have come with men on, and he’s batting .313/.438/.678 in those situations. Alonso has pulverized fastballs in 2025, posting a .664 SLG and .747 xSLG with nine home runs against them, and while his numbers against breaking pitches pale in comparison, he’s slugging over 150 points better against them this year than in 2024.

In the last two seasons, fans have debated whether or not Alonso has been deserving of his All-Star Game selections. Right now, he is leaving no doubt that he will be heading to Atlanta for this year’s Midsummer Classic.
