Alonso went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
The slugging first baseman took Dakota Hudson deep in the fourth inning, Alonso's fourth homer in the last five games and his 39th of the year. He's been flexing his muscles in August, slashing .254/.376/.690 through 20 games with nine long balls and 19 RBI as he closes in on his third career 40-homer campaign. Alonso also sits six RBI shy of his third season in triple digits.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a double and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 13-2 victory over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso plated Jeff McNeil on a two-run homer off Andrew Suarez in the seventh for the first baseman's third long ball of the last four games and his 38th of the campaign. Alonso trails only Matt Olson and presumptive AL MVP Shohei Ohtani in the home run column this season and is on pace to reach 40 long balls for a second straight year.

Alonso went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Thursday's victory over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso launched a two-run, 437-foot home run off Adam Wainwright in the top of the fourth to put the Mets up 2-0 and was also hit by a pitch later in the game. The first baseman has now homered in back-to-back contests and is up to seven long balls in the month of August, adding 16 RBI and nine runs scored over that stretch. He currently ranks third in the major leagues with 37 home runs.

Alonso went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run, two walks and a stolen base in a 4-3 victory versus the Cubs on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso did what he does best in the fourth inning, tying the contest with a two-run shot off Kyle Hendricks. It was his third straight game with a homer and pushed his season total to 35, third-most in the majors. Alonso needs just five more home runs to match last season's total of 40, and he could even feasibly challenge his career-best mark of 53 long balls that he established as a rookie in 2019.

Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso's first-inning, two-run homer was initially ruled a double, but it was confirmed to have cleared the center-field fence upon review, giving him three long balls in two days. After a tough start to the second half, the 28-year-old slugger has returned to form, boasting a remarkable 1.171 OPS over his last 17 games, including eight home runs, 22 RBI and 12 runs scored in 73 plate appearances during that stretch.

Alonso went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs and six RBI in Monday's 11-2 win against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Alonso provided muscle early, slamming a three-run homer in the first inning and a two-run shot in the third. The first baseman finished his productive day with a run-scoring single in the eighth. The six RBI tied a career high, and the multi-homer effort was his fourth of the campaign. Alonso ranks third in the majors in both home runs (33) and RBI (83) on the season.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman turned on a sub-90 mph sinker from Zack Greinke in the second inning and drove it over the fence in center field for a solo shot that got the Mets on the board, although they eventually lost 7-6. Alonso has regained his swagger at the plate, slashing .349/.396/.791 over the last 11 games with five homers and 15 RBI, and his 31 long balls on the season rank second in the NL behind Matt Olson's 36.

Alonso went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 5-1 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
After launching two homers against the Yankees on Tuesday, Alonso repeated the feat against a division rival, taking MacKenzie Gore deep in the fifth inning for a three-run shot before driving a Rico Garcia fastball over the wall in center field for two more runs in the seventh. Alonso's bat may have woken up too late to salvage the season for the Mets, but over his last eight games he's batting .400 (12-for-30) with seven extra-base hits (two doubles, a triple and four homers) and 11 RBI.

Alonso went 3-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman ended a 12-game power drought by taking Domingo German deep in the third and sixth innings. Alonso began July by slashing .114/.286/.273 through his first 13 contests on the month, but he's now hit safely in five straight while batting .474 (9-for-19) with five extra-base hits including two doubles and a triple. If the Mets are looking for excuses not to blow up the roster at the trade deadline, a return to form for Alonso could provide them with one.

Alonso went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's still tied for fifth in the majors with 26 home runs, Alonso's power production and batting average have both been trending down steadily since the beginning of June. Over the past seven weeks, Alonso has popped just six homers in 31 games and is slashing .136/.250/.327 during that same stretch. The Mets could soon look to build in an off day for the slumping Alonso, but he'll start at first base and bat cleanup in Thursday's series finale.
