Mets slugger Alonso exits after getting hit on hand by pitch

SAN DIEGO (AP) — New York Mets slugger Pete Alonso is out of the game in San Diego after getting hit by a pitch and falling awkwardly leading off the second inning. The pitch from Padres starter Yu Darvish hit Alonso on the right hand. Alonso appeared to swing, but the Mets challenged and it was ruled a hit by pitch and Alonso was awarded first base. He had headed to the clubhouse by then and was replaced by pinch-runner J.D. Davis. When the Mets went back in the field, Davis took over for Alonso at first base. The Mets said X-rays on Alonso’s hand were negative and he would have further tests.
