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.
