Overview
- Mark Vientos broke a scoreless tie with a two-run double in the fourth inning that put the Mets ahead and set the tone for the 6-1 win.
- Christian Scott, who was charged with a pitch-clock violation before his first pitch, allowed one run and struck out a career-high eight over five innings while earning his first major-league victory.
- Role players supplied key runs: Jared Young hit a sixth-inning homer, Hayden Senger launched his first big-league home run in the seventh, and Juan Soto added an RBI single.
- The Mets optioned Tobias Myers to Triple-A and promoted left-hander Cionel Pérez before the game, and a quartet of relievers threw four scoreless innings to close out the win.
- The victory came on a day the club inducted Bobby Valentine and Lee Mazzilli into the Mets Hall of Fame and provides a short lift for a team fighting injuries, roster strain, and fan scrutiny.
