Game Updates
The New York Mets' offense erupted in a 12-6 rout of the San Francisco Giants on Saturday afternoon, powered by a relentless attack that saw five players drive in multiple runs. Francisco Lindor led the charge with a 3-for-4 performance, including four RBIs, while Brandon Nimmo (3-for-4, 3 RBIs) and Pete Alonso (2-for-4, 3 RBIs, HR) delivered clutch hits throughout the game. The Mets' lineup feasted on Giants pitching, tagging starter Kai-Wei Teng for five runs in just 3.1 innings before breaking the game open with a seven-run barrage against the bullpen. Even when San Francisco's Willy Adames and Dominic Smith each launched two-run homers, New York's balanced attack—featuring eight players scoring at least one run—proved too much to overcome.
While Kodai Senga labored through four innings (five hits, four runs), the Mets' bullpen steadied the ship, with Reed Garrett and Gregory Soto combining for two scoreless frames to preserve the lead. The victory marked New York's third straight win, showcasing their resurgent offense just as the Giants' pitching struggles continued—San Francisco relievers surrendered 10 runs in 5.2 innings. With their lineup clicking and momentum building, the Mets look to carry this offensive explosion into their next series, while the Giants must regroup after another bullpen meltdown.
