AL RBI leader Alonso now 1st in HRs after blasting 2, including 471-footer

Pete Alonso hit two home runs in the Baltimore Orioles' 10-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium, pushing his season total to an AL-leading 43 home runs and 113 RBIs. His second homer, a seventh-inning solo shot, traveled a Statcast-projected 471 feet — his longest of the season and tied for the second longest of his MLB career. Since September 15, Alonso has slugged eight home runs in his last 10 games, putting him in contention to become only the third Orioles player to lead the AL in both home runs and RBIs in a single season.
