Mets pull off a comeback

Dominican Juan Soto hit a game-tying single in the seventh inning, Venezuelan Francisco Álvarez hit a big double in his return from the minor leagues, and the New York Mets rallied to beat the Los Angeles Angels 7-5 last night.

Brett Baty hit a two-run homer for the Mets, who overcame an early four-run deficit to match their largest comeback win of the season.

Venezuelan Salvador Pérez hit two home runs and drove in four runs, Jac Caglianone and John Rave added solo home runs, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago Cubs 12-4.

Chicago's Matt Shaw and Carson Kelly homered off Noah Cameron (4-4) in the second inning, but the rookie left-hander was in control for most of the first six innings. He allowed all four of the Cubs' runs on seven hits while striking out six to help the Royals win their second straight.

Brooks Baldwin hit a three-run homer, Miguel Vargas added a two-run shot, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-3 for their fourth straight victory, their longest streak of the season.

After sweeping Pittsburgh, Chicago won four straight games for the first time since May 8-11, 2024. The White Sox have a 15-36 road record.

Venezuelan Willson Contreras homered and drove in two runs to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 6-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies, the worst team in MLB. The Cardinals ended a three-game losing streak.
