Mets first baseman Pete Alonso pointed to the team playing "complete baseball" after their 12-6 win over the Yankees. Alonso, who homered twice and drove in five runs, is back to being comfortable with his mechanics at the plate. OF Brandon Nimmo is on a tear of his own, hitting a grand slam for the second time this week but also crediting the overall quality of the team's at-bats for the offensive surge. Starter Frankie Montas was the beneficiary of the offensive support and acknowledged what a major boost it is to have early runs to work with.

The Mets offense pounded the Yankees on Saturday 12-6, getting a grand slam  in the first inning from Brandon Nimmo and two homers from Pete Alonso, who is within six home runs of Darryl Strawberry's franchise record. Manager Carlos Mendoza said there was no doubt Nimmo's current hot streak has helped "set the tone" for offense. He thought Frankie Montas' outing was "solid" against the potent Yankees lineup. Mendoza was pleased to see Pete Alonso get back to "controlling the strike zone," and the result was a two-homer, five RBI performance.

But Carlos Rodon, Anthony Volpe and captain Aaron Judge also know their play is "nowhere near good enough" right now after a 12-6 loss to the Mets. The only solution is to "keep working and stick together."

Playing in his 500th MLB game, Jazz Chisholm celebrated the milestone by launching his 12th HR of the season in the Yankees 3-0 shutout of Oakland. Teammate Cody Bellinger said it was "understandable" that the A's would walk Aaron Judge to pitch to him in the third inning but Bellinger made them pay with an RBI single. Yanks starter Will Warren took center stage on Friday night however, tossing five shutout innings, after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first inning.
