Pete Alonso hit his 300th career home run on September 19 against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field. This milestone made him the 20th player to achieve 300 home runs against a former team. The Mets have set a record this season with 11 players hitting 10 or more home runs, previously held by a 2017 team with 10 such players. Alonso's homer marked his first go-ahead or game-tying home run late in a game since the 2024 Wild Card Series and broke Kodai Senga's streak of seven consecutive saves converted. The Mets played their 18th extra-inning game of the season, marking the most since 2018.
