NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso and Jared Young each hit a
two-run homer in the first inning, and the New York Mets beat the
Chicago White Sox 6-4 on Tuesday night for their fourth consecutive
comeback victory. |

Tylor Megill (4-4) recovered from a shaky
start, allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings to help the Mets
(34-21) match a season high at 13 games above .500 with their
14th come-from-behind win.
Miguel Vargas homered and drove in three runs for the White Sox,
hitting an RBI double off the top of the left-field fence that
nearly tied the score in the seventh.
Megill gave up a two-run homer to Vargas in the first, but the
Mets sent 10 batters to the plate against Jonathan Cannon (2-6)
in the bottom half — even though a zany mixup on the bases cost
Juan Soto a hit.
Alonso followed with his 11th homer and second in three nights
after droughts of 16 games and 65 at-bats that were the longest
of his career.
Brett Baty singled and Young gave New York a 4-2 lead with his
third career homer. Young also doubled to set up Jeff McNeil's
sacrifice fly in the third.
Francisco Lindor added an RBI single in the eighth.
Chicago cut it to 5-4 in the seventh on a run-scoring passed
ball and Vargas' double before José Castillo struck out rookie
Edgar Quero with two runners aboard to end the inning.
Reed Garrett got five outs for his second save — both in the
past three games.
Key moment
Megill exited to a warm hand after issuing consecutive walks
that loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth. Lenyn Sosa
sent José Buttó's first pitch into left-center, where McNeil
made a running catch to end the threat.
Key stat
Young's homer was his first hit for the Mets since getting
called up from the minors Saturday — and his first major league
home run since September 2023 with the Chicago Cubs.
Up next
Rookie RHP Shane Smith (1-3, 2.26 ERA) starts Wednesday for
Chicago in a series finale moved up six hours to 1:10 p.m.
because of a wet weather forecast. RHP Griffin Canning (5-1,
2.88) pitches for New York.
