In the top of the 11th, the Mets loaded the bases on right-hander Xzavion Curry with no outs. Jesse Winker drew a four-pitch walk to take back the lead for the Mets. Mark Vientos, whose third-inning error resulted in the go-ahead run for Miami, hit a chopper to shortstop Xavier Edwards, who fumbled it for an error himself.

Alonso, who is quickly closing in on the Mets’ all-time home run record, crushed a first-inning two-run shot off Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman. Although the play initially appeared destined for a flyout in right, the ball kept carrying until it went over the fence.

Four outs stood between manager Carlos Mendoza’s crew and an embarrassing series loss to the Marlins when Pete Alonso decided to awaken the masses.
