Pete Alonso’s two-run homer in the sixth inning broke a 5-5 tie and powered the New York Mets past the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 on Tuesday night at Citi Field. Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo supplied solo shots to keep the Mets’ bats alive after Toronto erased a 5-2 deficit with three runs in the eighth. The win snapped New York’s two-game losing streak and left the Mets 3-1 in their last four meetings with Toronto.
