Overview
- Rookie Carson Benge went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs and stayed in the game after colliding with the right-field fence, leading New York’s offense in a 10-5 road victory.
- The Mets hit five homers in the game, including two from Luis Robert Jr. against his former team and solo blasts from Bo Bichette and Luis Torrens.
- Starting pitcher Christian Scott lasted 4 2/3 innings and allowed four earned runs on five hits and four walks, while reliever Austin Warren earned the win with 1 2/3 scoreless innings.
- Trade-deadline acquisition Luis Castillo lasted only 2 2/3 innings, giving up eight hits and four earned runs, renewing concerns about the rotation’s depth and the effectiveness of recent pitching additions.
- The win extends New York’s post-deadline momentum to 12 wins in 17 games and boosts a slim playoff hope while forcing the club to rely on its bullpen and short-term rotation fixes as it pursues October contention.
