Overview

  • Francisco Lindor’s ninth-inning sacrifice fly secured the Mets’ 2-1 comeback victory and represented New York’s fifth walk-off win of the season.
  • Juan Soto’s eighth-inning sacrifice fly tied the game after pinch-runner Luisangel Acuña sprinted home from third on Brandon Nimmo’s single.
  • The Mets have scored five runs or fewer in each of their last 13 games but hold a 7-6 record in that span thanks to timely small-ball execution and tight defense.
  • Chicago’s loss dropped the White Sox to 17-37 overall and extended their AL-worst 5-22 road mark, including nine one-run defeats and six walk-off losses.
  • Tylor Megill will start Tuesday at Citi Field against Jonathan Cannon, giving the Mets an opportunity to extend their three-game home winning streak.
