NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer in the rain, hours after making his third All-Star team, and the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 8-4 for their first series win in a month. Mark Canha also connected for his first homer since June 1 and Tommy Pham added an RBI double after being moved up to the second spot in New York’s lineup for the first time this year. The struggling Mets won a series for the first time since sweeping Philadelphia at home from May 30 to June 1. New York is 8-19 since, after taking two of three from the Giants.
