Story summary

On Tuesday night, the New York Mets secured a victory against the Texas Rangers by a score of 6-3 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. This was their first game under new full-time manager Andy Green, who received a three-year contract earlier that day following his tenure as interim manager since June 26 when Carlos Mendoza was fired. Pitcher Sean Manaea had nine strikeouts and allowed only two earned runs over six innings for the Mets, while Francisco Alvarez contributed with a crucial two-run double in the sixth inning to give New York a decisive lead. The win is notable given that the Rangers were leading the American League West division at the time of the game; however, Houston Astros still held a one-game advantage due to their head-to-head tiebreaker rules and were playing simultaneously against Seattle.

🔮 The Mets’ 27-22 record after the trade deadline works out to an 89-win pace, the kind of season that will usually get you to the playoffs.
🔮 This Mets season began with hopes that Carson Benge would show he’s worthy of a starting outfield job.
🔮 Jeff Albert, who oversaw major league hitting, and Danny Barnes, the team’s quality assurance coach, will not return next season, the Mets announced Tuesday. A club source indicated no further changes to the coaching staff are expected.
🔮 The Mets got buried in the first three months of the season, and even a solid post-trade deadline showing couldn’t rescue the team.
🔮 The lefty said his focus this offseason will be building up velocity.
🔮 Bo Bichette knows the first half of this season was played, but maybe for good reason he doesn’t recall many details.
🔮 Citing the flexibility it could give the team next season when Francisco Lindor needs days off, manager Andy Green said Baty has the skill set to handle the position.
🔮 Before Tong’s latest outing, in which he allowed only three hits and one walk, manager Andy Green offered something of a hint that Tong will likely begin next season at Triple-A Syracuse.
