Pete Alonso hits his 300th career home run at Citi Field and is given a curtain call by the crowd. Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Sports—MLB report that, after the milestone, Alonso hits a game-tying solo home run in the top of the ninth inning on Tuesday night, drawing a strong response from the Mets’ home crowd. Multiple accounts say the reaction includes standing fans and an ovation.
The unusual moment leads Alonso to step out from the visitors’ dugout for the recognition. Yahoo Sports—MLB describes Alonso as saying he has “never seen anything like that.” Winnipeg Free Press also characterizes the appearance as a rare curtain call on the road following the 300th homer against the Mets at Citi Field. While the outlets focus on the fan atmosphere, they agree on the core facts: the 300th home run, the prominent response from Citi Field, and the subsequent curtain call for Alonso.
