The New York Mets started Game 5 of the NLCS with a big spark on Friday night.

After getting out of a jam in the first inning, the Mets put their first two batters on base. And after Mark Vientos flew to left field, New York slugger Pete Alonso gave the sellout Citi Field crowd reason to cheer.

On the fourth pitch of his first at-bat, Alonso hammered an 84.5-mph slider 432 feet into the center field for a three-run home run and an early 3-0 Mets lead. It was the longest home run by a Mets player in the playoffs since 2015.

Fox Sports, which aired the game Friday night on FS1, showed the replay of the home run from a rarely used overhead angle.

It looked pretty cool from the start. MLB fans were impressed:

The Mets, who entered Game 5 trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 in the best-of-seven series, held an 8-1 lead after three innings. If they hold on to the win, New York would visit Dodger Stadium on Sunday to try to avoid elimination in Game 6 again.
