Mets Win 1st Game After Andy Green Named Full-Time Manager, Beating AL West-Leading Rangers 6
Sean Manaea struck out nine and Francisco Alvarez drove in two runs as New York opened Andy Green’s full-time tenure with a 6-3 win.
- On Tuesday, the New York Mets defeated the Texas Rangers 6-3 in manager Andy Green's first game as full-time skipper, damaging the Rangers' playoff hopes in the opener of a three-game interleague series.
- Green had served as interim manager since Carlos Mendoza was fired on June 26, compiling a 38-38 record before the Mets removed his interim tag and signed him to a three-year extension hours before the game.
- Francisco Alvarez laced a go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, then scored on an unusual sacrifice fly, while Carson Benge set a Mets rookie record with 159 hits and doubled with an RBI.
- The Rangers entered Tuesday holding a one-game lead over the Houston Astros in the AL West, but must now win the division outright because Houston owns the head-to-head tiebreaker after winning the season series 9-4.
- Rookie right-hander Nolan McLean pitches for the Mets on Wednesday with an 11-10 record, while Brandon Nimmo faced his former team for the first time since being traded to Texas for Marcus Semien last November.
