Alonso hits tying homer and Mets edge Marlins 6-5 in 11 innings

MIAMI (AP) — Pete Alonso launched a three-run homer that tied the score with two outs in the eighth inning and the New York Mets scored twice in the 11th to beat the Miami Marlins 6-5 on Wednesday.

Alonso also doubled twice and finished with four RBIs. All three of his hits came off the bat at 113 mph or more.

Juan Soto scored three times for the Mets, who used eight pitchers and took two of three in the series to finish 3-3 on their season-opening trip. They play their home opener Friday against Toronto.

Alonso drew a leadoff walk from Xzavion Curry (0-1) in the 11th, and Brandon Nimmo's single loaded the bases with nobody out. Jesse Winker walked to give the Mets a 5-4 lead, and Alonso scored on an error by shortstop Xavier Edwards.

José Buttó (1-0) threw two perfect innings on just 15 pitches. Huascar Brazobán, traded from the Marlins to the Mets last July, entered with two on to protect a 6-5 lead and got two outs for his first save in 119 major league appearances.

Edwards had four hits for Miami, including an RBI single off Danny Young to start the bottom of the 11th. Griffin Conine added three hits.

With the game tied at 4 in the bottom of the eighth, it appeared the speedy Edwards scored the go-ahead run for Miami with a headfirst slide when he dashed home from third on a grounder to second baseman Brett Baty. But the call at the plate was overturned following a replay challenge, and Edwards was ruled out.

Alonso’s homer ended a nine-pitch at-bat against Calvin Faucher.

The Mets are off Thursday before RHP Tylor Megill (1-0) starts the home opener against Blue Jays RHP Kevin Gausman (1-0).

Miami visits Atlanta on Friday. Spencer Schwellenbach (0-0) pitches for the Braves, but the Marlins hadn't announced a scheduled starter.

Asian markets plunged on Monday following last week's two-day meltdown on Wall Street, and President Donald Trump said he won't back down on the sweeping new tariffs he announced on April 2 that have roiled global trade.

Countries are scrambling to figure out how to respond to the tariffs, with China and others retaliating quickly.

Trump’s tariff blitz fulfilled a key campaign promise as he acted without Congress to redraw the rules of the international trading system. It was a move decades in the making for Trump, who has long denounced foreign trade deals as unfair to the U.S.

The higher rates are set to be collected beginning Wednesday, ushering in a new era of economic uncertainty with no clear end in sight.

Here's the latest:

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he won’t back down on his sweeping tariffs on imports from most of the world unless countries even out their trade with the U.S., digging in on his plans to implement the taxes that have sent financial markets reeling, raised fears of a recession and upended the global trading system.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said he didn’t want global markets to fall, but also that he wasn’t concerned about the massive sell-off either, adding, “sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.”

His comments came as global financial markets appeared on track to continue sharp declines once trading resumes Monday, and after Trump’s aides sought to soothe market concerns by saying more than 50 nations had reached out about launching negotiations to lift the tariffs.

“I spoke to a lot of leaders, European, Asian, from all over the world,” Trump said. “They’re dying to make a deal. And I said, we’re not going to have deficits with your country. We’re not going to do that, because to me a deficit is a loss. We’re going to have surpluses or at worst, going to be breaking even.”

Asian markets plunged on Monday following last week’s two-day meltdown on Wall Street, and U.S. President Donald Trump said he won’t back down on his sweeping tariffs on imports from most of the world unless countries even out their trade with the U.S.

Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 index lost nearly 8% shortly after the market opened on Monday. By midday, it was down 6%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 9.4%, while the Shanghai Composite index was down 6.2%, and South Korea’s Kospi lost 4.1%.

U.S. futures also signaled further weakness.

Market observers expect investors will face more wild swings in the days and weeks to come, with a short-term resolution to the trade war appearing unlikely.
