The New York Mets secured a 5-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox, marking the latter's 106th loss of the season, tying the franchise record for losses. Pete Alonso led the Mets with his 30th home run, followed closely by Jesse Winker's back-to-back blast, as New York improved its record to 72-64, moving closer to the National League wild-card spot. The Mets have now won three consecutive games, with their bullpen successfully managing a tense ninth inning despite missing star closer Edwin Díaz. The White Sox are struggling significantly, sitting at 31-106 and on pace to challenge the modern MLB record for most losses. Analysts suggest that the franchise must strategize for a rebuild in the offseason to avoid being labeled the worst team in history. With only 25 games left, the White Sox need a strong finish to avoid further embarrassment as they face a critical moment in their franchise history.
