The Mets took an early lead against the Guardians but couldn't maintain momentum, resulting in a 3-2 defeat. Francisco Lindor scored after a series of events without a hit in the first inning, followed by an RBI single from Tyrone Taylor in the second. However, the Mets' offense stalled, finishing 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position. The Guardians equalized in the fourth inning and took the lead in the seventh. Despite a strong performance from the Mets' bullpen, the lack of scoring led to another loss, with Pete Alonso close to a franchise record.
New York struck first without a hit in the opening frame. Francisco Lindor walked, advanced on a balk and wild pitch, and scored on Pete Alonso's sacrifice fly for his team-leading 91st RBI.
From there, the bats were silent. New York went 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position and was set down in order from the sixth inning on.
Cleveland grabbed the lead in the seventh on Steven Kwan's run-scoring single off Tyler Rogers. The Mets' bullpen otherwise kept things close, but the offense never recovered.
Alonso, who went 1-for-3, remains one home run shy of tying Darryl Strawberry's franchise record as Strawberry watched from the stands.
