Clay Holmes’ heavy sinker should play well in spacious Oracle Park, and the Mets’ right-hander has been sharp out of the gate, holding opponents to scattered soft contact. He’ll lean on his ground-ball arsenal to neutralize Luis Arraez and keep Rafael Devers in the yard. Landen Roupp counters with a pristine early-season ERA, but the righty hasn’t yet faced a lineup as left-hand-centric and disciplined as New York’s; Juan Soto and Luis Robert Jr. match up favorably against his cutter/curve combo and figure to drive the traffic. The game tilts in the middle innings. A fourth-inning mistake from Roupp to Mark Vientos is hooked into the left-field seats for a two-run shot, giving New York a brief cushion. San Francisco claws back when Matt Chapman ambushes a first-pitch sinker in the sixth, but the Mets’ depth shows up: Jorge Polanco works a walk to open the seventh, and Francisco Alvarez doubles him home before Soto’s sac-fly tacks on an insurance run. Brooks Raley bridges the ball to Devin Williams; Raley limits the lefties in the eighth, surrendering only a Luis Arraez RBI flare, and Williams slams the door with his air-bending changeup. The Giants’ bullpen is solid, yet a thin right-on-right matchup in the seventh costs them. Tight throughout, but New York’s slightly deeper lineup and back-end relief give the visitors a 5-4 victory and even the series.

George Kirby takes fifth loss against Mets

Kirby's 3.77 ERA and 7.18 K/9 remain solid, but four earned runs in four innings Wednesday signal recent struggles in a season where he's posted a 0.294 xwOBA. Seattle (21-40) sits 11.5 games back in the AL West with limited margin for rotation inefficiency.

Mets playing 12 extra-inning games; three more than any other team

NYM (26-34, -14 run diff) is 4-6 in last 10 and 11-19 on the road—extra-inning games expose depth bullpens and compress rest, compounding their already weak run differential. Harrison (1.57 ERA, 15 SO in 14.2 IP) faces a MIL team while Gausman (3.13 ERA, 8.61 K/9) opposes Braves starters Elder (2.50 ERA) and Sale (2.02 ERA) in a matchup favoring Atlanta's elite rotation.

Mets Select Cionel Perez, Designate Anderson Severino

Peterson's 5.57 ERA and 0-4 record across 5 starts justify rotation depth moves, though Perez's Triple-A performance remains unavailable to assess immediate impact. New York sits 24-33 with a -27 run differential and needs rotation stability behind Peralta's 3.54 ERA.

Manaea takes Peterson's rotation spot for Mets

Peterson's 5.57 ERA and 0-4 record across 5 starts justify the swap, though Manaea arrives with a 5.56 ERA and no IP this season—NYM remain 23-33 (-29 run diff) searching for rotation stability behind Peralta's 3.52 ERA.

Rays Sign Outfielder Austin Slater To Minor League Deal

Slater (.209 AVG, .233 xwOBA in 2026) joins Tampa Bay's fourth organization this season after being outrighted by the Mets. The Rays (34-17, +38 run differential) add depth to an AL East-leading roster.

Kyle Harrison dominates former team Giants in Brewers win

Harrison's 1.57 ERA and 0.28 xwOBA through 3 starts validate Milwaukee's acquisition, while Giants' rotation remains in freefall—Webb (4.82 ERA), Roupp (4.22 ERA), and Ray (4.45 ERA) combine for a 14-18 record as SF sits -67 in run differential.

Red Sox continue home struggles with another loss

Boston's 9-20 home record now includes consecutive defeats; Suarez (3.38 ERA) is the only dependable starter while Bello (5.63 ERA, 0.376 xwOBA) and Gray provide minimal stability in a 25-34 team facing bottom-five divisional position.

CLE's win extends their streak to 5-5 over last 10 games behind Williams' 3.07 ERA and 8-3 record, while Yankees' 36-24 record masks rotation vulnerability—Weathers (3.52 ERA) is their primary starter with a modest 2-3 mark.

LA's win keeps pace with 39-22 record and +127 run differential, anchored by Ohtani's 0.82 ERA and 0.247 xwOBA through 7 starts—a historic pace that should extend their division lead over Giants (23-38, -67 diff).
