SAN DIEGO – Pete Alonso and Starling Marte exited with alarming injuries in the second inning against the Padres on Tuesday at Petco Park.

Alonso was hit on the right hand by a 95-mph fastball from Yu Darvish to lead off the top of the second inning. The Mets slugger immediately fell to the ground in pain. When a trainer checked on Alonso’s hand, the Mets decided to take the first baseman out of the game. Alonso went into the tunnel to get X-rays, but he came back out shortly after.

Marte was in obvious discomfort after he was caught stealing second base to end the top of the first inning. The outfielder appeared to grab his left quad after he slid into second. A small huddle consisting of Showalter, Eduardo Escobar, and a trainer formed around Marte in between innings, but Marte wanted to play so he gingerly jogged to right field.

Marte completed the bottom of the first inning – no balls were hit to him – but he struggled to run off the field after the frame was over. Marte came out of the game in the second inning.

The Mets have not yet provided updates on Alonso and Marte.

J.D. Davis replaced Alonso at first base and Mark Canha took over for Marte in right field. Backup catcher Tomas Nido became the last man on the bench for the Mets as early as the second inning.

Darvish hit three of the first five Mets batters in Tuesday’s start. Brandon Nimmo and Jeff McNeil were also hit by pitches in the first and second inning, respectively, though both were able to stay in the game.
