White Sox vs. Mets Tonight: Live Score, Highlights & How to Watch the Must-See MLB Clash

Citi Field nail-biter: Benintendi’s sac-fly backs Houser as White Sox blank Mets 1-0 in series opener Queens, N.Y. — The Chicago White Sox grabbed a 1-0 victory over the New York Mets on Monday afternoon, riding six scoreless innings from Adrian Houser and a fourth-inning sacrifice fly by Andrew Benintendi that plated Mike Tauchman at Citi Field. Houser outduels Holmes • Houser scattered three hits, walked one and struck out six, lowering his ERA to 0.00 through two starts since being recalled from Triple-A. • Mets right-hander Clay Holmes matched zeros until the fourth, ultimately surrendering four hits and the lone run across six frames while fanning five. White Sox manufacture the lone run In the top of the fourth, Luis Robert Jr. lined a single, Tauchman walked, and Miguel Vargas’ infield hit loaded the bases. Benintendi then lofted a deep fly to left that was plenty for Tauchman to tag and score, a textbook bit of small ball that proved decisive. Bullpens slam the door Lefty Brett Eisert bridged the seventh with two outs, and John Brebbia along with closer Michael Kopech combined for the final six outs. Kopech needed just 12 pitches for his eighth save, freezing Jeff McNeil on a slider to end it. Mets’ offense sputters again New York went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position and stranded only two baserunners, continuing a recent trend that has seen the club average 2.7 runs over its last seven games. Pete Alonso’s 406-foot fly in the sixth died on the warning track, symbolizing the day.
