Overview

• Miami beat New York 7-4 at Citi Field after three Mets errors, a passed ball and other miscues produced five unearned runs in the seventh-inning swing.
• New York’s loss, paired with other results, left the Mets five back in the NL East and still four games up for the last wild card as clubs like the Giants gained ground with a recent surge.
• Top prospect Jonah Tong is set for his major-league debut Friday after posting a 1.43 ERA with 179 strikeouts across Double-A and Triple-A, joining a rotation boosted by rookie Nolan McLean’s 3-0, 0.89 ERA start.
• The Yankees routed the White Sox 10-4 for their fifth straight victory, with the bullpen retiring all 12 batters faced after Will Warren allowed no earned runs despite a grand slam following a shortstop error.
• Anthony Volpe’s extended slump and defensive regression remained in focus after his 18th error, though he notched two hits and a sacrifice fly as Aaron Judge publicly urged him to use the struggles as motivation.
