Overview
- The Mets, who snapped a three-game skid Friday night in San Francisco, beat the Giants 10-3 as rookie Nolan McLean retired his first 15 batters and Francisco Alvarez hit two home runs.
- McLean took a perfect game into the sixth before two walks and a Willy Adames ground-rule double ended the bid, and he logged 5.1 innings with one hit and two runs allowed.
- Juan Soto singled in the first, felt tightness in his right calf going from first to third, left the game, and manager Carlos Mendoza said he will have imaging Saturday and voiced concern.
- New York’s bats produced a season-high 15 hits with Marcus Semien belting his first Mets homer, while Jorge Polanco sat due to Achilles tendinitis and is considered day-to-day.
- The Giants also faced uncertainty as reliever José Buttó was diagnosed with a blood clot in his arm and was expected to undergo a procedure, with no clear timetable for return.
