"Pete Alonso bailed out an unreliable bullpen with a three-run walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift New York to a 5-2 victory on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. The win snaps a heinous eight-game losing streak that saw the Mets (77-73) temporarily fall out of a playoff spot, though Sunday's result temporarily gives them a one-game lead over the San Francisco Giants for the third and final National League Wild Card spot."
"The Mets had built a 2-0 lead on the back of Nolan McLean, who continues to assert himself as the team's unquestioned ace. The 24-year-old rookie right-hander went six shutout innings, allowing five hits with two walks and seven strikeouts. He is the first Mets pitcher ever to begin his career with six straight starts of five-plus innings pitched and two or fewer runs allowed. McLean boasts a 1.19 ERA to start his MLB career."
