Jake Rogers hits a game-ending homer as the White Sox rally past the Mets 6-4

In a thrilling Friday night matchup, the Chicago White Sox secured a 6-4 victory over the New York Mets, thanks to a clutch two-run homer by Jake Rogers in the ninth inning. Rogers, who had not hit a home run since being claimed off waivers from Boston, crushed a 98.1 mph fastball from Jefry Yan with two outs, tying the game at 4-4.

The White Sox capitalized on a series of walks and a sacrifice bunt, with Rogers delivering the decisive blow. The AL Central leaders had been on a three-game losing streak before this win. New York's Bo Bichette and Brett Baty contributed with key hits, while Miguel Vargas and Randal Grichuk added two homers of their own for the Mets.
