Episode Details

Christian Scott dazzled in a gem of a start, tossing five and two-thirds shutout innings with seven strikeouts and just three hits, showcasing his nasty sweeper and solid fastball. The Mets desperately needed this win after a brutal sweep, and the offense delivered with Francisco Alvarez crushing two homers (his 11th of the season) and Brett Baty adding his fifth, including a back-to-back blast in the seventh that sent Aaron Nola packing. Though Scott was pulled after Kyle Schwarber doubled, his performance was stellar and managed carefully post-Tommy John. Luke Weaver briefly unraveled in the eighth with a solo shot, but Devin Williams locked it down in the ninth for the save. Still, the Mets’ offense remains inefficient, going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position — a glaring issue as they chase the Phillies in the division.
