The home run was the 253rd of Alonso's career, moving him past a tie with franchise great Darryl Strawberry for the most in Mets history. Alonso broke the record in front of an appreciative Citi Field home crowd that celebrated the achievement with a standing ovation.

The New York Mets have a new home run king. First baseman Pete Alonso slugged his 27th home run of the season and the 253rd home run of his career Tuesday, breaking Darryl Strawberry's franchise record.

The Brewers were already familiar with Alonso’s torment. American Family Field was where he hit the go-ahead homer in Game 3 of last year’s NL Wild Card series, clinching the first round for the Mets and sending them to the NLDS for the first time since 2015.
