Overview
- The Mets finished a three-game sweep Thursday with a 9-4 win at Citi Field, overcoming another early deficit in what Elias Sports Bureau says is only the third Mets sweep with multi-run comebacks in every game.
- Juan Soto’s X-rays were negative after a foul off his right foot Wednesday, and he returned Thursday to notch the go-ahead single and later a solo homer.
- Rookie right-hander Nolan McLean settled after a three-run first to work seven innings, easing pressure on a bullpen that covered 5.1 scoreless frames the night before.
- Catcher Francisco Álvarez had right meniscus surgery and went on the injured list, with the team expecting a six to eight week recovery.
- Young newcomers Carson Benge and A.J. Ewing sparked wins during the series, highlighted by Benge’s 10th-inning walk-off Wednesday as the injury-hit lineup leans on fresh legs.
