NEW YORK – What began as a thrilling day for New York Mets youngsters Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil got even better by the time the night was over.

The freshly minted All-Stars had the big hits in a five-run eighth inning that rallied the Mets past the Atlanta Braves 8-5 on Sunday, snapping their seven-game losing streak.

“Me and him kind of feed off each other,” Alonso said. “He’s a spark plug. We just have really good chemistry. I love him hitting in front of me.”

Todd Frazier launched a long home run to begin the comeback and finished with three hits and two RBIs.

McNeil, batting an MLB-best .348, and J.D. Davis also had three hits apiece for the Mets (38-47). They prevented a three-game sweep by the National League East Division leaders and won for only the fifth time in 18 games.
