His helmet only partially protected him as Jos\u00e9 Soriano&#8217;s opening pitch curveball dipped down and smacked him at the back of his head, on the neck.<\/p>\n<p>It was another worrying incident for a player who has received repeated blows to the head in previous years that many Mets felt defied explanation.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Benches cleared &#8212; but no punches thrown &#8212; after Pete Alonso is hit near the back of his neck with a Jos\u00e9 Soriano curveball. Alonso had some words for Angels catcher Logan O&#39;Hoppe after the pitch. He was then removed for a pinch-runner. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NeZ5Po1yUX\">pic.twitter.com\/NeZ5Po1yUX<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Anthony DiComo (@AnthonyDiComo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AnthonyDiComo\/status\/1695614326030119285?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 27, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Mets were attempting to tie the game as they fell behind 5-3.
