The Mets No. 1 prospect Jefferson Rojas continues to make his mark, crushing another home run for Double-A Binghamton. Ronny Mauricio went yard for the 18th time this season for Syracuse and and Colin Houck, the team's first-round pick in 2023 hit his ninth HR of the season for Brooklyn. On the mound, Houck's teammate, Daviel Hurtado, a crafty young lefty from Cuba, allowed just a single earned run and struck out four over five innings.

Interim Mets manager Andy Green and starter Zac Thornton stated that obviously his giving up four home runs was not ideal but Green felt Thornton came close to escaping the fifth inning and both credited Giants' first baseman Rafael Devers with a great job of hitting his two homers. The Mets manager was happy with his rookie outfielder A.J. Ewing's two-run HR and his renewed approach at the plate after getting a couple of days off.
