Pete Alonso hit his MLB-best 10th home run to back Joey Lucchesi's triumphant return to the majors and the Mets shut out the Giants 7-0.
"I was still a little nervous in the second and then after that, 'Oh, I got this, I got this', my rhythm was there and I was finding my location, my spots," he said."I was like, 'Let's go, ride that wave.' I did."
"Joey was lights out," Alonso said."Both of them together did an excellent job. This is so special for Joey, first start coming off Tommy John. It's really, really cool to be a part of. I'm happy that he got the win and I'm happy he just pitched the way he did. It's awesome." Lucchesi had never faced the Giants while with the Mets, tossing six innings here with San Diego on Aug. 31, 2019.
Brooks Raley and Tommy Hunter each pitched an inning to complete the five-hit shutout that ended in 2 hours, 15 minutes.
