Pete Alonso blasts homer No. 252, joins Darryl Strawberry atop Mets all-time home run list
Alonso cracked his 252nd home run off the Brewers' Tobias Myers — a 413-foot solo home run to left-center field — in the second inning on Saturday night at American Family Field. He joined Strawberry atop the franchise record book after Strawberry hit the same number between his rookie season in 1983 and 1990.
Alonso has tallied the mark in less time, with the feat being accomplished between 2019 and the 117th game of the 2025, with a COVID-shortened 2020 campaign in between.
Alonso reached the Mets' record in 963 games, compared to 1,109 contests for Strawberry.
The Mets first baseman had moved within one home run on Aug. 4 against the Guardians when he took Slade Cecconi deep for a three-run home run. He made up serious ground as the calendar turned to August, homering three times in the first four days of the month before going three straight games without leaving the park.

Tennessee Titans make a surprising roster move
The Tennessee Titans took advantage of their waiver wire priority and made another addition to their linebacker room, and in the process made a shocking move to make room for their new addition. The Titans claimed linebacker Brian Asamoah off waivers from the Minnesota Vikings after the former third-round pick was waived on Monday. Asamoah has been mostly a special teams performer since being drafted in 2022, seeing a total of 188 defensive snaps while racking up over 800 on special teams over 46 NFL games. Asomoah played 23 defensive snaps and six on special teams in the Vikings' preseason opener Saturday. To make room for Asamoah, the Titans made a surprising move and waived veteran inside linebacker Otis Reese IV. It's quite a fall for Reese, who opened the offseason with the inside track on the starting linebacker position next to Cody Barton. Reese, who sat out Saturday's preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, appeared to have been jumped on the depth chart by both James Williams and Cedric Gray, and will now be subject to the waiver process. Reese is the second player the Titans re-signed at the start of the offseason to be released during training camp. Tennessee also waived Keondre Coburn, who inked a deal at the same time as Reese in March. This article originally appeared on Titans Wire: Tennessee Titans claim Brian Asamoah, waive Otis Reese IV

John Daly's son among winners in first round of US Amateur at Olympic Club
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The son of two-time major champion John Daly was among 32 players who won their matches Wednesday in the first round of match play at the U.S. Amateur, where five of the top 10 amateurs in the world also advanced at The Olympic Club. John Daly II, a senior-to-be at Arkansas, had a scorecard that looked nothing like the 'wild thing' reputation of his famous father. In a 1-up victory over Cooper Claycomb, Daly won the 11th hole with a birdie and the other 17 holes were halved. Jackson Koivun of Auburn, the No. 1 player in the world amateur ranking, was all square with Ryan Vools until Koivun made par on the 16th for a 1-up lead and closed out his opponent with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 17th. It was Koivun's only birdie of the match. Ben James, the No. 2 amateur in the world and a Virginia senior, had a 2-and-1 victory over Parker Claxton, while fourth-ranked Preston Stout won, 4 and 3, over Pennson Badgett. Two players from the top 10 lost in extra holes. Tommy Morrison of Texas (No. 6) , lost to 18-year-old Mason Howell when Morrison made bogey on the par-5 17th hole with a 1-up lead, and then made double bogey on the 19th hole. Filip Jakubcik (No. 5) lost to Eric Lee in 19 holes. Other top-10 players from the amateur ranking to advance were Jace Summy (No. 7) and Christiaan Maas (No. 9). Tim Wiedenmeyer of Germany staged the biggest comeback. He lost five of the opening seven holes to Reed Greyserman and won his final four holes for a 2-and-1 victory. In one of the most roller-coaster matches of the opening round, the son of a former British golf writer rallied to beat the son of a Ryder Cup stalwart. Niall Shiels Donegan of Scotland, whose father Lawrence was a longtime golf correspondent for The Guardian, birdied the last two holes for a 1-up victory over Luke Poulter, a junior at Florida and the son of Ian Poulter. Donegan was among 17 players who advanced from a 20-man playoff Wednesday morning to determine the final 64 for match play. ___ AP golf:
