Despite some of the same recurrent annoyances we’ve grown accustomed to from the 2025 team, the Mets bet the White Sox 6-4 in the second game of this three game set. The offense short circuited their RISP problems by hitting the ball over the face before anyone got there, and Tylor Megill was his usual self (which is good). Juan Soto hit into three hard outs. You know the drill.
The evening began explosively, with three combined homers in the first. Miguel Vargas had the first blast, putting the White Sox up 2-0, but Pete Alonso and Jared Young (his first hit as a Met) answered in the bottom-half to give the Mets a 4-2 lead.
