ST. LOUIS — Pete Alonso's recent doldrums at the plate got him a partial day off Monday. The slumping first baseman was absent from the Mets' starting lineup for the first time this season — he had started the previous 126 games dating to last year — but entered as a defensive replacement in the Mets' 4-3 victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. Alonso entered the day in a 1-for-28 (.036) tailspin that had pushed his season numbers to .206/.295/.420. Alonso went 0-for-1 after entering to play first base in the sixth inning — DJ Stewart, who started at the position, was shifted to left field. 3 Pete Alonso came in as a defensive replacement in the Mets' win over the Cardinals.

The controversial call that ended the Mets' 1-0 loss to the Cubs last Wednesday made waves across the league last week. Neither the plate umpire nor the replay official called player interference on Chicago catcher Miguel Amaya for having his foot on the plate as he tagged out Pete Alonso at home to end the game with a double-play. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred commented on the play APSE Commissioners Meetings at MLB headquarters in New York on Monday. “We feel very comfortable that the rule was applied correctly,” Manfred said.
