In the fourth inning, Pete Alonso homered off of Yu Darvish. The homer was his 42nd of the year breaking the tie he had with Todd Hundley and Carlos Beltran for the Mets single season record.

The only record now before him is Aaron Judge‘s rookie record of 52. On that front, Alonso hit 10 homers in May, which is the most he’s hit in any month thus far. He’s going to have to replicate that just to match.

Overall, there’s more than enough games to do that. That goes double when you consider there’s still trips to Coors and The Great American Ballpark remaining. With those series remaining, Alonso has a good chance.
