The New York Mets lost to the Cleveland Guardians 4-1, nearly experiencing a no-hitter. Cleveland's Gavin Williams pitched 8.2 innings without allowing a hit, until Juan Soto hit a solo home run. Williams allowed one run and struck out six batters. David Peterson pitched well but lacked run support, giving up four earned runs. Brandon Nimmo walked three times, but the Mets could not turn those opportunities into runs. The Mets are on a four-game losing streak and will face the Brewers next after a day off.
Cleveland right-hander Gavin Williams dominated from the start, keeping the Mets hitless into the ninth inning. With one out in the final frame, Juan Soto spoiled the no-hit bid by launching a solo home run to center on Williams' 117th pitch.
Williams exited to a standing ovation after 8.2 innings of one-hit ball, allowing one run while striking out six and walking four. David Peterson gave the Mets another decent effort on the mound, but didn't get run support.
David Peterson allowed a solo homer to David Fry in the second and a two-run blast to Angel Martinez an inning later, finishing with six innings pitched, five hits, four earned runs.
Brandon Nimmo worked three walks, but New York failed to capitalize. Mark Vientos came the closest to breaking up the no-hitter earlier with a seventh-inning flare to right, but it was snared on a diving catch by C.J. Kayfus.
