Pete Alonso blasted career homer No. 252 in the second inning of the Mets’ 7-4 loss to the Brewers on Saturday night to tie Strawberry as the franchise’s all-time leader.

In June, the slugging first baseman had a two-homer game at Colorado that moved him ahead of David Wright for second place on the Mets’ all-time list. Wright hit 242 homers.
