New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso spoke out about the team’s struggles before delivering a game-winning performance against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Alonso hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, helping the Mets secure a 5-4 victory. ‘I’m just really fired up,’ Alonso said after the game. ‘I think we’ve got a really good team here. We’ve just got to keep grinding it out.’ Alonso’s comments came after a report that he and other Mets players had expressed frustration with the team’s performance and management. The Mets have struggled this season, currently sitting in last place in the National League East division.
