In a historic victory, Pete Alonso’s clutch hit in the third inning propelled the New York Mets to a thrilling 2-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday. This marked the Mets’ first series sweep of the Blue Jays in 24 years, extending their winning streak to four games.
The game-changing moment came when Alonso delivered a crucial single, scoring a go-ahead run, followed by a sacrifice fly from Brandon Nimmo. The Mets’ offense, led by Alonso’s 11 RBIs this season, proved to be the difference-maker in securing the sweep.
A strong pitching performance from David Peterson, Max Kranick, Reed Garrett, A.J. Minter, and Edwin Díaz, who combined for a four-hitter, shut down the Blue Jays’ offense. Despite some tense moments, including Peterson’s struggles on the mound, the Mets’ pitching staff held firm to secure the victory.
Looking ahead, the Blue Jays will send RHP José Berríos to the mound for their next game against Boston, while the Mets will rely on RHP Kodai Senga to kick off a series against Miami. Stay tuned for more exciting baseball action in the coming days!
