For the first time, the Mets Big Three hit the same court with the Mets sweeping Rocky

Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto hit a home run for the first time as Mets teammates in front of a crowd of 43,224 in front of a crowd of 43,224 in the early hours of Monday GMT (Sunday afternoon local time in New York). The superstar trio led New York to a 5-3 win over Colorado Rocky to complete the series sweep and put the team back at the top of the National League East standings. They will depart for Los Angeles on Wednesday morning (Monday night local time in Los Angeles) for the first game of a four-game game against the Dodgers.

"We had three top hitters in the early stages of the line, and it was exhilarating to see them all on the court," said Mets coach Carlos Mendoza. It's remarkable to have these three hitters form the core. Alonso, Lindo and Soto scored all of the series' finale. Alonso has 12 home runs this season, Lindo 13 and Soto 10. It was only a matter of time before the fire of the three men broke out at the same time.

'We're going to be on a hot pitch and it's going to be exciting,' said Alonso. He took the lead in hitting a three-point home run in the opposite direction at four innings in the morning of Monday Beijing time (four innings in New York Sunday afternoon) to turn the tide of the game; At five innings on Monday morning (five innings on Sunday afternoon, New York), Lindo took the lead again with a home run ahead of the left field after the Rocky team tied the score. Soto hit a home run from the right midfielder to add a home run under eight innings on Monday morning (eight innings on Sunday afternoon in New York).

"When the three of them explode at the same time, it's a powerful experience," stressed Clay Holmes, who threw the longest seven-inning win of his career in the early hours of Monday morning, "especially for the pitchers, who can dominate the game if they are given the opportunity consistently." Therefore, it is of great significance to witness the three of them starting at the same time. Alonso's 632 points put him in fourth place on the Mets' all-time scoring list, surpassing Howard Johnson behind David Wright (970), Darryl Strawberry (733) and Mike Piazza (655).

"This is a team with a long history," Alonso said, "and it's a great honour to be among the many great players who have played here. Lindo led the team with 13 home runs, 11 of which came at Citi Field. He played 31 games at home this season, batting average of 0.355, batting average of 0.653 and attack index of 1.064. He scored his 261st career home run, officially surpassing Derek Jeter and becoming the fourth-most home run of any player in major league history who played more than 60 percent of shortstop games — behind Cal Ripken Jr. (431), Miguel Tejada (307) and Hanley Ramirez (271).

When Lindo came along, the Mets had a 26-0 record (28 wins if you count the 2024 playoffs). Asked about the significance of this statistic, Lindo quipped, "It seems like I'd better keep hitting home runs." He added: "At the end of the day, it's a team win, not an individual achievement. Besides, I'm not superstitious about the correlation of 'fire and win'. Soto hit a double-digit home run of the season with two consecutive hits, and his one-knee gesture of hitting a 110-mph cannonball (resembling Adrian Beltré) flew over the right midfield wall.

'It's like hitting the right midfield with a number two,' Alonso described the goal. Soto responded: "Getting down on one knee was a natural reaction, never intentional. According to Elias' Sports Data Bureau, Alonso and Lindo have started together 28 times, surpassing Johnson and Stroberg to set a record for any duo in team history. Now join Soto, which is heating up? It's even more powerful. "Everyone knows we're playing a strong line," Lindo noted, "but it's not easy to have all the players in baseball break out at the same time. The beauty of it is that even if we don't have a synchronized outbreak, we can still win. "

Led by the trio, the Mets ended a nine-game home streak with a 7-2 record, improving their record to 37-22. New York regained the top spot in the division from the Phillies and extended their season-best win margin to +15 games. "It's not just about the three of us," Soto concluded, "it's about the team's contribution." When everyone has made a difference, the rest area is full of joy. "
