Mets lose 2-1 as walk-off homer ends Senga's closing streak
Kodai Senga blew his first save as the Mets fell 2-1 on a walk-off home run by Tristan Peters, handing Chicago a series win.
In Chicago, the Mets saw right-hander Kodai Senga lose his first save opportunity when Tristan Peters hit a walk-off homer in the ninth, resulting in a 2-1 defeat and a series loss to the White Sox at Rate Field. The game was tied 1-1 after Jared Young's RBI single, but the Mets could not capitalize, striking out Francisco Alvarez and A.J. Ewing with the bases loaded.
Chicago's lone run came from Andrew Benintendi's triple off Daniel Duarte, who had been reliable in the setup role. Meanwhile, interim manager Andy Green fielded a right-handed lineup, and Nolan McLean dominated with six scoreless innings, allowing only one hit and recording six strikeouts. McLean's performance marked his third consecutive start of six or more innings with one run or fewer, dropping his ERA to 3.21. Reliever Dedniel Núñez added a scoreless seventh as he continues recovery from Tommy John surgery.
