Pete Alonso wasn’t satisfied just tying for second place on the Mets’ all-time home run list Sunday, so he claimed the spot as his own.

The sizzling first baseman had already homered once to tie David Wright with 242 homers as he approached the plate in the eighth inning at Coors Field. 

Two pitches later he was ahead of Wright, with only Darryl Strawberry remaining ahead of him.

“I don’t think that is really going to settle in because we’re still in the middle of the season,” Alonso said after the Mets finished a three-game series sweep with a 13-5 demolition of the Rockies. “Right now, it’s just focus on winning.”

Alonso and Jeff McNeil each blasted two homers on a day the Mets totaled six. 

Juan Soto reached base six times, becoming the first Mets player to accomplish that feat in a game since Alonso in 2019.

Alonso was a beast on the seven-game road trip, delivering five home runs and 15 RBIs. 

Alonso, with his 23rd career multi-homer game, moved ahead of Strawberry as the all-time Mets leader in that category. 

Alonso needs nine homers to match Strawberry at 252 as the leader in franchise history.

The Buss family has agreed to sell the majority ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers to TWG Global CEO and chairman and Los Angeles Dodgers majority owner Mark Walter for a franchise valuation of approximately $10 billion, which would be the largest sale of a professional sports franchise in the world.

The price beats the previous records set during the $6.1 billion sale of the Boston Celtics in 2025 and the $6.05 billion sale of the NFL’s Washington Commanders in 2023. Walter’s purchase of the Dodgers in 2012 as part of the Guggenheim contingency ranks 12th all-time.

Walter has served as a minority stakeholder in the Lakers since 2021 and also has interests in the Los Angeles Sparks, the Billie Jean Cup, Cadillac Formula One team and the Professional Women’s Hockey League. 

Lakers controlling owner Jeanie Buss, the daughter of late former owner Dr. Jerry Buss, will reportedly continue to serve her role as the team’s governor after the completion of the sale.

Marcus Stroman allowed one run and three hits in his return to the New York Yankees’ starting rotation, pitching five innings in a 12-5 win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Stroman threw 74 pitches, 42 for strikes, and walked two batters. 

Though he didn’t need the help, Stroman received plenty of run support from his lineup, scoring six runs versus Athletics starter Luis Severino.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. provided the early offense with a second-inning home run and two-run triple in the third. Aaron Judge added two more runs in the fourth with his 29th homer of the season. And Cody Bellinger hit a three-run shot to give the Yankees a 10-1 lead when Stroman was finished.

Judge added his 30th homer in the eighth inning, going 2-for-4 with four RBI. 

Not much has come easily for the Yankees over the last three-plus weeks, and that remained the case in Sunday afternoon’s Subway Series finale.

But clutch heroics by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger helped the Yankees survive the Mets’ furious comeback bid, snap a six-game losing streak and prevent a sweep at Citi Field.

Judge homered, drove in three runs and made a lead-preserving diving catch in the sixth inning of the Yankees’ 6-4 win.

Bellinger’s sensational shoestring catch on a Juan Soto line drive, meanwhile, turned into a rally-killing double play in the seventh.

The win was the Yankees’ seventh in their last 23 games, a stretch that included two separate six-game losing skids.

Overall, the Yankees and Mets split their six head-to-head games this season, with the Yankees taking two of three during their series in the Bronx in May.
