Pete Alonso and the rest of the Mets' All-Stars received boos from the Truist Park crowd pregame.
A few innings later, though, the slugger gave the rival crowd something to cheer about.
After Fernando Tatis Jr. and Brendan Donovan reached to lead off the inning, Alonso stepped to the plate looking to do some damage against Kansas City Royals left-hander Kris Bubic.
Bubic fell behind 1-0 and then tried to sneak a middle-middle fastball past the big man, but he was not fooled and smacked it 367 feet the other way for an opposite-field three-run homer.
Alonso became just the third Met to leave the yard in an All-Star Game, and the first since David Wright did so back in 2006.
