Mets win 1st game after Andy Green named full-time manager, beating AL West-leading Rangers 6-3

Arlington, Texas witnessed the New York Mets' first victory under full-time manager Andy Green, who was named to the position after Carlos Mendoza's dismissal on June 26. The Mets, previously trailing their division, defeated the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 6-3 in a game that marked a significant turning point. Sean Manaea, the Mets' pitcher, struck out nine batters in six innings, allowing only three runs, two of which were earned.

Francisco Alvarez led the Mets' offensive efforts, doubling and scoring twice, contributing to two runs. He also drove in two runs, showcasing his all-round contribution to the team's success. Carson Benge, with a Mets rookie record 159 hits, further boosted the Mets' performance by scoring twice, hitting two doubles, and driving in a run.

The game was marked by a mix of strategic plays, with Luis Torrens adding a sacrifice fly caught in foul territory and Benge's double in the fourth inning when the Rangers capitalized on two hit batters. The Rangers' star, Nolan McLean, will take the mound against the Mets' rookie Nolan McLean in the next game.
