Tristan Peters Homers in the Ninth Inning to Give the White Sox a 2-1 Win over the Mets
Tristan Peters hit his third walk-off of the season as Chicago earned its 11th walk-off win and second of the series, the AP said.
On Sunday, August 23, 2026, Tristan Peters hit a walk-off solo home run in the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets.
Mets starter Nolan McLean pitched six scoreless innings, while Chicago's Sean Newcomb, Erick Fedde, and Hagen Smith combined to allow five hits and strike out eight batters through eight innings.
Andrew Benintendi gave Chicago a 1-0 lead with an eighth-inning double that scored Miguel Vargas, but Jared Young tied the game for the Mets with a ninth-inning single.
Despite allowing the tying run, Grant Taylor secured the win with two strikeouts in the ninth, sealing Chicago's 11th walk-off victory of the season following Peters' 406-foot home run.
Mets starter LHP Zac Thornton will take the mound Tuesday for Game 1 against the Brewers, as the Mets look to bounce back from the series loss.
