Mets honor Seaver in comeback
Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer leading off the 10th inning Thursday night, lifting the New York Mets to a come-from-behind 9-7 win over the New York 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 six-game season series, all of which was played over the last six days.
Alonso raised his arms and looked toward the dugout as the Mets spilled out to celebrate a win on the day they honored franchise icon Tom Seaver, whose death was announced Wednesday, with tributes throughout the game.
