Earth, Wind & Fire plays for Alonso

Camden Yards played "September" each time Pete Alonso stepped to the plate on Monday night, celebrating his son Teddy's first birthday.

“That was for him. That's his birthday song.”

Alonso hits 39th and 40th homers

Alonso clubbed two homers to lift the Orioles to a 4-3 comeback win over the Blue Jays. His second blast was a go-ahead two-run shot with two outs in the eighth inning.

“It's obviously special. Hopefully, we can bookmark this game.”

First solo shot cuts early deficit

Alonso's first homer was an opposite-field solo shot to right field in the first inning, helping the Orioles overcome a 3-0 deficit.

Alonso reaches 40 homers in AL

In his first National League season, Alonso hit 53 homers. He's now the only player ever to hit 40+ homers in his first season in each league.

108 RBIs lead the American League

Alonso's three RBIs on Monday boosted his AL-leading total to 108. No other AL player has more than 99.

Orioles still fighting for playoffs

Baltimore (76-81) is 4.5 games back of the White Sox for the third AL Wild Card spot with five games remaining in the regular season.

“I really love playing the game, and for me, I just want to be all I can be.”

Alonso signed five-year deal last winter

Since signing a five-year, $155 million contract with the Orioles last December, Alonso has delivered as advertised during his first season in Baltimore.

Consistency defines Alonso's career

Alonso has hit at least 34 homers in every season except 2020, when he had 16 in the pandemic-shortened campaign. This is his fourth 40-homer season.

“Hitting 40 home runs and having over 100 RBIs in this league is really impressive.”
