'The magic of the postseason': Alonso homers on pitch barely 1 foot off ground
Alonso crushed a three-run first-inning homer on Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty’s slider, which was 1.12 feet off the ground, the lowest pitch taken deep in the postseason since 2015. With the Mets facing elimination in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series, they jumped out to their first lead since the NLCS moved to Queens.
