Pete Alonso returns to Citi Field with Orioles as Mets face void

Pete Alonso makes his emotional return to Citi Field with the Orioles on September 14, facing the Mets for the first time since departing the team. Alonso, who is one home run away from his 300th career home run, signed a five-year deal with Baltimore after the Mets opted not to provide him with long-term stability. Since joining the Orioles, Alonso has hit 35 home runs and driven in 100 runs this season.
