Sean Manaea delivered a standout performance for the New York Mets, throwing seven scoreless innings with a season-high 11 strikeouts and allowing only two hits in a 2-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins. This game marked Manaea's best outing since joining the Mets, improving his record to 7-4 and lowering his ERA to 3.50. J.D. Martinez provided the game's first run with a fourth-inning RBI single, while Mark Vientos added a solo home run in the fifth, his 15th of the season. The Mets' bullpen, featuring new acquisition Ryne Stanek and Edwin Diaz, secured the win without allowing further runs. Despite not acquiring a frontline pitcher at the trade deadline, the Mets' recent trades and Manaea's performance have bolstered their chances as they maintain a competitive position in the NL East. The Mets now have a record of 57-50 and seek to complete a series sweep against the Twins.
