Two doubles, homer Wednesday Alonso went 3-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, a home run, three RBI and three runs scored in Wednesday's 11-6 win over the Nationals.
Impact The Mets gave Alonso a day off Tuesday and it looked smart a day later as Alonso erupted for eight total bases. Alonso entered the day out of the lineup amidst a 7-for-41 (.171) slide. His numbers are still below expectations, but he's a lot closer after this performance.

Day off Tuesday Alonso is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.
Impact This appears to be nothing more than a routing off day for the young slugger. He may need a day to sort things out after hitting just .200/.333/.308 through his first 17 games. Dominic Smith will handle first base in his absence.

Showcases elite power Alonso went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Marlins.
Impact Alonso saw an 89-mph fastball gift-wrapped over the heart of the plate (from a lefty in Daniel Castano) and hammered it 116.9 mph off the bat, the second-highest exit velocity on a batted ball in MLB this season. It was only his second homer and Alonso is still batting just .211, but Alonso can do damage with the best of them when he does put bat to ball.
