Pete Alonso was one of the stars of Major League Baseball's Wild Card Series round, hitting a three-run homer in the ninth inning on Thursday night to lift his New York Mets over the Milwaukee Brewers for the series win.

There's an argument to be made that Pete Alonso's game-winning home run to propel the New York Mets to the NLDS was the most timely dinger in MLB postseason history. According to Opta STATS, Alonso is the first player in MLB history to hit a go-ahead home run while trailing in the ninth inning or later of a winner-take-all game.
