The New York Mets defeat the Cleveland Guardians 6-2 on Tuesday night in their first game after the trade deadline. Luis Torrens leads the offense with three hits, including a three-run home run in the second inning. He drives in four runs total, helping New York build and maintain a comfortable lead. The Mets also get home runs from Bo Bichette and rookie Carson Benge as part of a wider power surge. According to one report, the Mets hit three home runs in the game and collect nine total hits. Carson Benge’s home run—measured at 451 feet—lands as the longest drive at Progressive Field this season in coverage of the matchup.
The win ends a stretch of poor results for the Mets against Cleveland, with one outlet noting New York had dropped three straight and six of its previous games versus the Guardians. The game result also breaks a three-game losing streak for the Mets.
