The New York Mets (9-4) face off against the Athletics (5-8) for Saturday’s second game of their three-game series in Sacramento. The first pitch at Sutter Health Park is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PST.
The Mets lead the season series 1-0 and are on a roll, having won seven of their last eight games. After bouncing back from a loss on Wednesday, they took Friday’s opener against the A’s, winning 7-6.
First baseman Pete Alonso continued to shine, hitting his fourth home run of the season and finishing the game with three hits and three RBIs. Designated hitter Starling Marte also contributed with two RBIs.
On the other hand, the Athletics have struggled recently, losing two consecutive games and 4 out of their last 5.
In Friday’s defeat, starting pitcher JP Sears allowed three earned runs over four innings. The Mets exploited a costly fielding error by second baseman Max Muncy to score three unearned runs in the sixth inning, stretching their lead to 6-1.
Interestingly, 7 of the last 10 games for the A’s have surpassed a total of 9 runs, including Friday’s game, which saw a combined total of 13 runs.
In contrast, only 4 of the Mets’ games have reached double digits in runs scored this season, though 2 of those have been in their last three games.
