Mets End Losing Streak with 9-1 Win

Pete Alonso led the New York Mets to a decisive 9-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics, ending the Mets' four-game losing streak. Alonso achieved four hits, including a home run and three RBIs, while Francisco Lindor also contributed with two hits and two RBIs, marking his 100th career home run with the Mets. The Mets, who had been outscored 31-5 in their previous four games, improved their record to 62-58, now two games behind Atlanta for the last NL wild card spot. David Peterson pitched effectively, allowing just one unearned run over 6 1/3 innings. This win snapped not only the Mets' slump but also halted Oakland's three-game winning streak. Additionally, the Athletics placed designated hitter Brent Rooker on the paternity list following the birth of his child.
