Brian Joura Mets360: "Pete Alonso and Jesse Winker hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning and the Mets got just enough pitching against the lowly White Sox to emerge with a 5-3 victory Saturday night in Chicago. It was the Mets’ third-straight win and puts the club eight games over .500 for the first time this season."
NY Post: Mets top lowly White Sox to move two games behind Braves in wild-card race. "Jesse Winker’s production is transforming him from a nice extra piece to a key member of a lineup that has been searching for heroes. Saturday night the veteran outfielder had a third straight multi-hit game, which included a homer, in helping the Mets to a third straight victory, 5-3 over the White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field."
Tim Healey Newsday: Mets beat White Sox, gain ground on Atlanta. "Mendoza was working without Diaz, who was resting after pitching each of the previous three days. Huascar Brazoban, Ryne Stanek and Phil Maton combined for three hitless, walkless innings...Quintana wound up with a fine line — five innings, two runs, one earned — but was not sharp against what is by far the lowest-scoring offense in the majors."
