    Pete Alonso’s 300th home run makes history in multiple ways

    Baltimore Orioles first baseman Pete Alonso has become the 19th active player to reach 300 career home runs, and he accomplished it at his former home, Citi Field. 

    He achieved the major feat by crushing his 36th home run of the season against New York Mets reliever Kodai Senga in the top of the ninth inning on Tuesday. 

    The home run also tied the game at 3-3, bringing the Orioles back in the game, where they eventually went on to defeat the Mets 7-5 in extras. 

    Alonso now joins both Albert Pujols and Ralph Kiner as the only players in MLB history to reach 300 home runs in the first eight seasons of his career. In addition, he has reached 300 home runs in the 10th-fewest games in MLB history (1,160).
