The New York Mets defeat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 in the first major league game following the All-Star break. Francisco Alvarez leads the offense with two home runs, and Brett Baty also adds a homer as the Mets score all four runs via solo shots. New York starter Christian Scott (3-1) pitches 5 2/3 shutout innings and records seven strikeouts, helping preserve the Mets’ lead throughout the game. The Mets’ home runs come against Phillies veteran Aaron Nola, totaling three solo homers. The game is also described as being played under smoky skies. In addition to the Mets’ offensive output and Scott’s pitching, the Mets make a late injury-related lineup change: Juan Soto is removed in the eighth inning due to left calf soreness. The combination of strong starting pitching, extra-base power from Alvarez, and three solo home runs enables New York to secure the win.
