The Mets rallied for a dramatic victory over the Giants on Tuesday night, snapping a recent slump with a burst of power that included five home runs. Central to the win was a gritty performance by rookie pitcher Nolan McLean, who steadied the staff and kept the Giants’ offense at bay despite the high‑scoring affair. The game marked a rare bright spot for New York, whose season has been marred by inconsistency, while San Francisco’s recent struggles continued to deepen as their offense failed to capitalize on key opportunities. The win not only gives the Mets a much‑needed boost in the NL East race but also highlights the growing disparity between the two clubs as the season heads into its final stretch.


In a September matchup featuring two disappointments that are trending in opposite directions, the Mets used five home runs and a gritty night from Nolan McLean to hold off the Giants.
