Alonso hits home run No. 14 of season
Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a long home run Tuesday against the Nationals. The homer off Kyle Finnegan was drilled 446 feet to left field. It’s the longest of Alonso’s 14 homers so far this season. He’s gone 7-for-23 with two homers and three doubles since May 30.
Ruiz hitless in loss to Mets
Keibert Ruiz went 0-for-4 in the loss to the Mets on Tuesday. We wonder how Riley Adams feels about being back in Triple-A while performing better than Ruiz both offensively and defensively these last two seasons. The 0-for tonight leaves Ruiz at .199/.239/.288 for 2024. He has to be better than this offensively, but the Nationals seem to be at a complete loss for ideas to improve his defense.
