After a much-needed 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves Thursday night, Alonso echoed the confidence surging through the Mets clubhouse, even amid ongoing injury concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in a postgame interview shared by the Mets\u2019 official X account, formerly known as Twitter, Alonso didn\u2019t hold back his optimism.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&quot;There&#39;s a lot of belief in this group.

There\u2019s a lot of talent in this room,\u201d Alonso said, referencing the team&#8217;s resilience and their push through adversity.<\/p>\n<p>Alonso\u2019s words came after a strong showing by New York in the final two games of a critical four-game set against Atlanta. The Mets had lost 10 of their last 11 games before bouncing back with back-to-back victories, including Thursday night\u2019s shutout win in Queens. The team is now 48-34, overtaking the Philadelphia Phillies by a half-game in the division.<\/p>\n<p>Article Continues BelowHowever, the win came at a price. Starting pitcher Griffin Canning exited early after suffering a non-contact injury while breaking toward the third base line. The right-hander, who owns a 3.77 ERA this season, was visibly emotional as he was helped off the field. Manager Carlos Mendoza later shared that the team suspects an Achilles injury.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the Mets clubhouse rallied. Four relievers combined to pitch 6 1\/3 scoreless innings, blanking a Braves offense that had been hot entering the series. Alonso himself recorded three hits and one RBI, setting the tone with his leadership both on and off the field.<\/p>\n<p>With injuries to starters like Canning, Sean Manaea, and Kodai Senga, the bullpen has been forced to pick up the slack. The timing of Alonso\u2019s vote of confidence is critical, especially as the trade deadline and All-Star break approach.<\/p>\n<p>New York\u2019s success this season has hinged on resilience. In 2024, they clawed back from 11 games under .500 to make a postseason push. Now, with stars like Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor heating up, the Mets look poised to make another charge.<\/p>\n<p>The tight race in the NL East standings adds urgency to every outing. Philadelphia remains just behind, and any slip-ups could cost the Mets their position. But if Alonso\u2019s message resonates with the locker room, this could be the rallying point they need.<\/p>\n<p>Whether this belief translates into sustained success remains to be seen\u2014but if confidence counts for anything, the Mets are right where they need to be.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pete Alonso praises the Mets&#8217; belief and talent after win over the Braves as New York retakes NL East lead as the All-Star break approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":73737,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[1914,23,1045,285],"class_list":["post-73736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-carlos-mendoza","tag-mlb","tag-new-york-mets","tag-pete-alonso"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
