Alonso’s two-run homer in 10th lifts Mets to win over Yankees

NEW YORK » Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer leading off the 10th inning Thursday night, lifting the Mets to a come-from-behind, 9-7 win over the Yankees in the final Subway Series game of the season between the teams.

The Mets came back from deficits of 4-0 and 7-4 at Citi Field to earn a split of the sixgame season series, all of which was played over the last six days.

J.D. Davis forced extra innings by homering off Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman one pitch after pinch-runner Billy Hamilton was thrown out trying to steal third base. Alonso then hit the second pitch he saw from Albert Abreu (0-1) for his first walk-off homer.

Alonso raised his arms and looked towards the dugout as the Mets spilled out to celebrate a win on the afternoon they honored franchise icon Tom Seaver, whose death was announced Wednesday.

PIRATES 6, CUBS 2 » First-time father Bryan Reynolds hit a three-run homer in his return from paternity leave to lead Pittsburgh past Chicago. Reynolds, who along with wife Blair welcomed son Reese on Monday, sent a drive off Alec Mills (3-3) into the seats in right field in the third inning to help Pittsburgh snap a four-game losing streak.

ASTROS 8, RANGERS 4 » Aledmys Díaz hit a three-run homer and Michael Brantley added three RBIs, leading Zack Greinke and Houston over Texas.

Brewers designate Smoak

MILWAUKEE » Milwaukee claimed first baseman/designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach off waivers and designated Justin Smoak for assignment as it attempts to boost its struggling lineup and make another September surge.

Smoak, 33, had been hitting .186 with five homers, 15 RBIs and 40 strikeouts in 113 atbats.
