Breaking: Pete Alonso blasts first homer of spring in Mets’ win over Cardinals.

First of many

Pete Alonso homered in the fourth inning of the Mets’ 3-0 exhibition victory over the Cardinals at Clover Park.

The blast, a solo shot, was Alonso’s first this spring after hitting 46 in the regular season last year.

After a shaky first outing this spring, Josh Walker pitched a scoreless second inning with two strikeouts. The Mets did not use a starting pitcher, opting for a bullpen game.
