The Mets rebounded from closer Edwin Diaz's
blown save to win their fifth straight game. The White Sox lost
for the sixth time in seven games and fell to 2-6 on their
season-high, 10-game homestand.
Chicago tied the game against Diaz in the ninth on Tim
Anderson's sacrifice fly as Diaz was unable to build upon Seth
Lugo's heroics one inning earlier. With one out, the bases
loaded and the Mets ahead 2-1, Lugo induced White Sox No. 3
hitter Jose Abreu on a double-play groundout to end the threat.
Robert Gsellman (2-2) earned the win, striking out two in a
perfect 10th and 11th. Jose Ruiz (1-2) was the loser after
allowing one run in one-third of an inning, although McNeil and
Conforto both connected against Josh Osich.
Noah Syndergaard struck out 11 in 7 1/3 innings while allowing
one unearned run in what potentially was his final start as a
Met. A rumor mill staple as Wednesday's trade deadline looms, he
scattered five hits, walked one and notched double-digit
strikeouts for the second time this season and 16th in his
career.
Before its late power barrage, New York scored via a pair of RBI
groundouts -- from Tomas Nido in the second inning and Robinson
Cano in the fifth. Conforto had three hits, and Pete Alonso and
McNeil added two apiece.
White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada left the game with right
hamstring tightness in the second inning. Ryan Goins replaced
Moncada, who didn't come to bat and completed just one defensive
play, retiring Wilson Ramos on a grounder with two runners
aboard for the final out of the first inning.
Goins delivered Chicago's first hit of the night with a double
leading off the fifth. Representing the potential go-ahead run
with two outs in the sixth, Goins grounded to first base.
The White Sox scored earlier in the frame when Abreu reached on
a Todd Frazier fielding error to score Yolmer Sanchez, who had
two hits.
Reynaldo Lopez took a no-decision, scattering two runs and six
hits in 5 1/3 innings with four walks and six strikeouts.
