Mets slugger Pete Alonso will participate in the All-Star Home Run Derby on July 10 in Seattle, looking to win for the third time. "I’m stoked," Alonso said after hitting his 25th homer Sunday night in New York's 8-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants. Two years later, Alonso hit 74 homers at Coors Field in Colorado and won the derby by edging Trey Mancini in the finals. Last year at Dodger Stadium, Alonso topped Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr. in the first round before losing 31-23 to Rodríguez in the semifinals. "I thought that the derby wasn’t necessarily the biggest priority when I was coming back from the wrist," Alonso said.
