Staying on brand as their 2023 selves, the Mets scored eleven runs against the White Sox and somehow managed to actually win the game. The star of the night was undoubtedly Francisco Alvarez, who hit a pair of two-run home runs and went 2-for-3 with a pair of walks.
The Mets jumped out to an early lead, a relatively rare occurrence this year, when Tommy Pham doubled in a run in the bottom of the first. Pete Alonso drove in their second run on a sacrifice fly. And Alvarez hit the first of his two aforementioned home runs before Brett Baty hit a solo shot to go back-to-back with him, giving the Mets a 5-0 lead.
