The Cleveland Guardians silenced the New York Mets with a masterful pitching performance and timely power, cruising to a 4-1 victory Wednesday afternoon. Gavin Williams dominated over 8.2 innings, allowing just one run on a solo homer by Juan Soto while striking out six and scattering four walks. The Mets' lineup, featuring stars like Francisco Lindor and Pete Alonso, was held hitless outside of Soto's blast, managing just one hit total against Williams' sharp arsenal. Cleveland's offense struck early, with Angel Martinez and David Fry both launching solo shots in the third inning to build a lead they'd never relinquish.

While New York's David Peterson showed flashes with seven strikeouts over six innings, the Guardians' balanced attack proved too much. Martinez's two-RBI day and Fry's clutch homer highlighted Cleveland's efficiency, while the Mets' struggles continued with only three baserunners reaching scoring position all game. The win keeps the Guardians' playoff push alive, while the Mets' offense—held to one run for the second time this week—faces growing questions about its consistency down the stretch.
