Overview

  • The Mets squandered Brandon Sproat’s six scoreless innings, giving up a 2-0 lead as Edwin Díaz allowed Rowdy Tellez’s tying double in the eighth and Wyatt Langford’s go-ahead single in the ninth of a 3-2 loss to Texas.
  • The defeat left New York on an eight-game losing streak and out of control of its playoff fate, in a virtual tie with the Giants for the NL’s final wild-card spot with the Reds one game back.
  • Juan Soto provided the Mets’ lone highlight with his 40th home run, joining MLB’s 40-30 club and becoming the fifth player in franchise history with a 40-homer season.
  • The surging Rangers extended their winning streak to six by rallying late against Tyler Rogers and Díaz, a run that is tightening margins across the AL wild-card race.
  • The Yankees beat the Red Sox 5-3 to clinch the series at Fenway, getting a three-hit, three-RBI night from Jazz Chisholm Jr., a solid start from Max Fried, and late outs from Luke Weaver, Devin Williams, Fernando Cruz and David Bednar to move 2.5 games ahead of Boston for the top AL wild card.
