Haley Alonso jumped on the bragging rights train.
Mets first baseman Pete Alonso’s wife reposted a photo of her husband from the Mets’ account on her Instagram story Wednesday night, celebrating the team’s series victory over the Yankees.
“Subway series!!!,” Haley captioned the photo, followed by three broom emojis to emphasize the sweep.
Yankee Stadium saw a full house on Wednesday, but it also saw the Mets pound their interborough rivals 12-3 and sweep their second two-game Subway Series of the season.
Alonso’s two-run dinger in the fourth inning sparked a streak of 11 runs unanswered, leaving the Bronx Bombers with no chance of a comeback.
Francisco Lindor fueled the fire in the fifth with a scorching two-run blast to right against Yankees ace Gerrit Cole.
Mark Vientos and Lindor again both went yard in the eighth in which the Kings of Queens secured their second win in the Bronx, adding to the two they claimed at Citi Field in June.
In four showdowns this season, the Mets walloped the Yankees 36-13.
The Mets continued their red-hot play Thursday with a 3-2, 10-inning win over the rival Braves in which Alonso went 0-for-2 with an intentional walk and a hit by pitch.
Pete and his wife, who tied the knot in 2021, recently returned from All-Star week in Arlington, Texas, where they rocked the red carpet in their matching black ensembles with a hint of western flair.
The first baseman was named to the National League All-Star team as a reserve behind Phillies star Bryce Harper, marking his third consecutive All-Star nod.
The NL team fell to the American League, 5-3, and Pete struck out in the ninth inning after entering the game in the bottom of the seventh.
Haley, who has attended all three of her husband’s All-Star weeks, claimed the experience doesn’t get old.
“It’s really special seeing him live out his dream and being able to support him along the way…It’s always a great week here,” she said at the red carpet.
The two-time Home Run Derby winner competed in this year’s contest but missed his shot at a third title after a first-round exit.
Pete and the Mets (53-48) tip off a four-game series against the Braves, who sit at second place, trailing NL East leaders the Phillies, on Thursday night at Citi Field.
