Francisco Alvarez Homers Twice as Mets Beat Phillies 4-1 Under Smoky Sky
Christian Scott held Philadelphia to three hits over 5 2/3 innings as the Mets hit three solo homers and won their first game after the All-Star break.
- On Thursday, Francisco Alvarez homered twice and Brett Baty added a solo shot as the New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in the first major league game following the All-Star break, played under hazy conditions from Canada and Minnesota wildfires.
- Christian Scott pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings for New York, while Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly kept starter Aaron Nola in for the seventh inning despite 90 pitches thrown, resulting in back-to-back homers to Baty and Alvarez.
- New York slugger Juan Soto left the game in the eighth inning with left calf soreness, echoing an April injury when he missed about 2 weeks with a right calf strain. Ewing added an insurance run with an RBI double in the ninth.
- Trea Turner homered for Philadelphia in the eighth off reliever Luke Weaver, but Devin Williams secured the victory with his 100th career save and 14th of the season.
- The Mets and Phillies will resume their series on Saturday after a scheduled day off on Friday, following the All-Star break that preceded Thursday's contest.
