While the New York Mets lost the second game of the doubleheader by a score of 4-2!

Why?

Pete Alonso greeted reliever Darren O’Day with an opposite-field two-run homer in the fourth inning of Game 2, drawing the Mets back within one after Gio Urshela’s three-run homer off Corey Oswalt in the second.

Seattle who is a member of the American League West comes into the game with a record of 45-40!

Why?

Because they defeated Texas who like them is a member of the American League West by a score of 4-1!

Yesterday!

Where?

Seattle Washington!

Why?

Chris Flexen limited the Rangers to four baserunners and one run over 81 pitches in six dominant innings, which secured the Mariners’ third straight series win to match a season high. He likely would’ve gone deeper had he not been on a shorter leash due to the four days of rest he was on compared to the standard five in the construction of Seattle's six-man rotation.

That efficiency helped position Drew Steckenrider, Paul Sewald and Kendall Graveman to pitch the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, respectively, over which they allowed a combined one hit to the 10 batters they faced.
