Tuesday night belonged to New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, who in the bottom of the third inning — during his second at-bat of the night — launched a home run to right-center field for his 253rd career blast in a Mets uniform.

Pete Alonso stands alone — and the man he passed is now congratulating him. The Mets slugger set the franchise’s all-time home run record on Tuesday night at Citi Field with his 253rd career blast, and Darryl Strawberry, who now sits in second place, had plenty of nice things to say to Alonso.
