Overview

  • Pete Alonso ended a 16-game home run drought with his 11th of the season and Jared Young hit his first major league homer since September 2023 in his first hit after a recent call-up, fueling a four-run first inning.
  • Tylor Megill rebounded from an early Vargas homer to allow just two runs over 5 2/3 innings, departing after escaping a bases-loaded jam.
  • Anchored by Jose Butto and José Castillo and capped by Reed Garrett’s five-out second save in three games, the Mets bullpen shut down the White Sox over the final 3 1/3 innings.
  • Miguel Vargas homered and drove in three runs for the White Sox, including an RBI double that nearly tied the game in the seventh inning.
  • The victory improved the Mets to 34-21 and set up Wednesday’s series finale with rookie Shane Smith slated to start for Chicago and Griffin Canning for New York.
