Pete Alonso is crushing it in Baltimore, slugging 30 homers and driving in 85 runs this season while soaking up the vibe with a cigar in the dugout after an Orioles win. His breakout year comes as Jorge Polanco’s injury-riddled campaign ends, leaving the Mets scrambling. The Orioles, meanwhile, are hot on the wild card chase — just one game back before Sunday — staying above .500 in a brutal AL race. Alonso’s August surge includes a clutch go-ahead homer against the Rays, all while adjusting to life as a new dad — proving sometimes a change of scenery is exactly what a player needs to find his groove.
