Signed again over the offseason, the 30-year-old Alonso is hitting .290 with a .386 on-base percentage. He's also got 14 homers and 54 RBIs and is staring down the probability of another All-Star selection. The 30-year-old has been one of the most productive offensive players in the league since debuting in 2019, having hit 34 homers or more in every full season since then. He also hit 16 homers in the COVID-shortnened 2020 season, which was only 60 games.
The Mets and Dodgers will finish out their series on Thursday afternoon with first pitch coming at 4:10 p.m. ET.
