Final Score: Giants 3, Mets 2 — The Tenth Circle
Photo by Daniel Shirey/MLB Photos via The Mets wasted sixteen innings and nearly five hours on their way to a loss in San Francisco.

Pete Alonso’s blast in Minnesota was the Mets’ longest in the Statcast era
Do yourself a favor and rewatch this one as many times as you can. During the Mets’ rout of the Twins on Wednesday afternoon, Pete Alonso hit the type of home run that you don’t expect to see in a game—and maybe not even in batting practice. As the Mets turned a close game into a blowout, Alonso hit a home run into the middle of the third deck of Target Field. It made a fantastic sound off the bat, Statcast measured it at 474 feet, and it’s the kind of home run you want to watch over and over and over again. Statcast has only been around since 2015, but in that time, this home run...
