Bo Bichette hits 3-run homer in 8th inning as Mets rally past Giants 4-2

Bo Bichette hit a decisive three-run homer in the eighth inning, propelling the New York Mets to a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday. The power move came after an intentional walk to Juan Soto, who had been on the receiving end of an intentional walk earlier in the game as well. The Mets rallied from a first-inning deficit, with Brett Baty contributing a pinch-hit homer for his second of the game.

Luis Torrens set up the run by driving in A.J. Ewing with a sacrifice to second base. The rally was completed by Bichette's 16th career home run, which sailed into the left-field seats on a 0-1 slider. Catcher Tobias Myers secured the win for the Mets, pitching a solid eighth inning despite having to strand a runner. The Mets' pitching staff also proved resilient, with Kodai Senga sealing the game with a perfect ninth inning.

San Francisco starter César Perdomo made his major league debut in impressive fashion, holding the Mets scoreless for six innings while only allowing three hits.
