WATCH: Pete Alonso argues close strike call with umpire as Mets lose to Mariners

Pete Alonso wasn't impressed after he was called out on strikes in the eighth inning of the New York Mets' 6-0 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Friday. With two men in scoring positions, the New York Mets were counting on their first baseman to cut the deficit to Austin Voth at T-Mobile Park.

Voth spewed a 93-mph 1-2 pitch up in the zone, which Alonso left alone. To his surprise, the home plate umpire deemed it a strike, leading to Alonso getting a strikeout as the innings ended.

Alonso had a chat with the home plate umpire, with manager Carlos Mendoza jumping in from the dugout to make sure the confrontation didn't get heated. Eventually, everything went well, as Alonso walked back to the dugout.

Here's the video of Alonso's argument with home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez:

The Mets hitters were a no-show on Friday, as the team couldn't muster a single run in their loss to the Mariners. Pete Alonso was hitless in his four plate appearances.

Both the Mariners and the Braves are walking a tight rope on their way to the postseason, with 61-56 and 61-55 records, respectively.

On Thursday, Pete Alonso was at his best, going deep twice at Coors Field to help the team to a blowout 9-1 victory.

Alonso first smashed a 471-foot blast to left-center in the first inning and came in the third to hit another home run, this time a 454-foot shot to the left.

"Home runs can be happy accidents. Just the result of swinging and capitalizing on a good pitch, hitting it hard to the big part of the field," Alonso said after the game.

"I just think through the course of the season there are ebbs and flows, and ultimately, I just want to help the team win. I just want to be the best I can and help get this team to the playoffs."

Manager Carlos Mendoza was happy with the first baseman finding power at the right time of the season.

"He's been hot, cold at times," Mendoza said about Alonso. "But I've been saying it for a long time: He can carry a team for quite a bit, too. We saw it (Thursday). Two balls, he hit them pretty far. And that's who (he) is."

With the Mets in a tight race with other NL teams for postseason spots, Pete Alonso going hot at the plate would help their postseason hopes going into October.
