On Friday, the Mets secured a commanding victory over the Giants, with Nolan McLean pitching five perfect innings despite relying on just one effective pitch. Post-game, Marcus Semien and Francisco Alvarez discussed the team’s offensive resurgence, although the win was marred by Juan Soto’s early exit due to calf tightness, prompting an MRI, and Jorge Polanco’s absence due to Achilles tendinitis. In the minors, Christian Scott struggled in his Triple-A debut, while prospect Elian Peña excelled in his first stateside game. Additionally, the Mets are set to sign veteran reliever Luke Jackson to a minor league deal.
