Pete Alonso went deep again.
The former Met first baseman smacked a hanging curveball from Xzavion Curry into the leftfield seats on the eighth pitch of the at-bat to give the Orioles a 1-0 lead.

A night after hitting a tying home run in the ninth inning, Alonso once again heard a loud ovation from the Citi Field crowd as he rounded the bases on Wednesday night.
There was no curtain call this time, however.

What do the Mets need to address at upcoming GM meetings? A whole lot.
