Mets drop from 1st, lose 6-3 to Marlins despite Alonso HR

MIAMI (AP) — The New York Mets fell out of first place for the first time since early April, unable to erase an early deficit despite Pete Alonso’s 33rd home run in a 6-3 loss to the Miami Marlins. New York, which dropped a half-game behind Atlanta in the NL East, squandered a pair of good scoring chances by grounding into double plays. The Braves won 6-4 at Seattle and took sole possession of first place for the first time all season. The only previous day this year the Mets did not hold at least a share of the division lead was April 11.
