Pete Alonso passes David Wright on Mets’ all-time home run list in blast-filled win over Rockies

DENVER — Pete Alonso wasn’t satisfied just tying for second place on the Mets’ all-time home run list Sunday, so he claimed the spot for his own.

The sizzling first baseman had already homered once to tie David Wright with 242 homers as he approached the plate in the eighth inning at Coors Field.

Two pitches later he was ahead of Wright, with only Darryl Strawberry remaining ahead of him.

Alonso and Jeff McNeil each blasted two homers on a day the Mets totaled six in a 13-5 demolition of the Rockies that completed a series sweep.

Alonso was a beast on the seven-game road trip, delivering five home runs and 15 RBIs.

The Mets, who went 5-2 on the trip, moved 18 games above .500 — matching their highpoint from last season, when it took them until Sept. 22 to reach that level.

The Rockies, on the other hand, fell 41 games below .500 as they continue their descent toward unseating last season’s White Sox as the worst team in major league baseball’s modern era.

It was the White Sox, with 121 losses, who cast aside the 1962 Mets for that distinction.

The Rockies are on pace for 132 losses.

Alonso, with his 23rd career multi-homer game, moved ahead of Strawberry as the Mets’ all-time leader in that category.

He needs nine homers to match Strawberry at 252 as the Mets’ career leader.

McNeil’s first homer of the game gave the Mets a 1-0 lead in the second inning.

McNeil culminated a 10-pitch at-bat with a shot that cleared the right field fence.

The Mets added another run in the inning on Francisco Alvarez’s RBI single after Ronny Mauricio had singled and Tyrone Taylor walked.
