Pete Alonso made a game-saving play for the Mets as they defeated the Giants, 2-1, extending their win streak. He leaped to snag a hard-hit ball at first base, preserving the lead for pitcher Edwin Diaz. Despite metrics suggesting he lacks defensive supremacy, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza praised Alonso's elite defensive abilities. David Peterson contributed significantly, allowing just one run while striking out four, lowering his ERA to 2.83. Mark Vientos' critical two-run double turned a deficit into a victory for the Mets, maintaining their lead in the NL East.
"Unbelievable, he doesn’t get enough credit for his defense, because he’s elite... you want the ball being hit to Pete."
"The play preserved a game in which David Peterson allowed one run, eight hits and three walks with four strikeouts."
