NEW YORK — Mets legend Darryl Strawberry has company atop the all-time franchise home run record, and his name is Pete Alonso. On Saturday , Alonso etched his name in the Mets’ record books with a single swing. His second inning home run, No. 252, in his career puts him in a tie with Strawberry, who is a member of the Mets’ Hall of Fame.

Pete Alonso has hit his 252nd career home run, tying the New York Mets record held by Darryl Strawberry for 37 years

Alonso, 30, did not homer in the final two games of the Mets’ previous homestand. He tied Strawberry’s decades-old record on Saturday night in Milwaukee, then went 2-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Sunday’s series finale against the Brewers.
