Mets Stay Red-Hot With Red Sox Sweep

The New York Mets appear unstoppable right now. Now in the home stretch, the Mets have kept their eyes on the prize and swept the Red Sox in another clear signal of intent. Talk about a perfect way to begin a crucial homestand.

As a result, the Mets have now won seven straight and are gathering all the momentum at exactly the perfect time. They remain hot on the heels of the Braves for the final Wild Card spot in the National League.  New York is also now a season-high 12 games over .500.

This team appears to be getting red-hot when it matters the most. We should be in for a very fun  Finnish.

Jesse Winker could go down as the best pickup of the entire trade deadline. He’s certainly in the conversation. The one-time Mets nemesis since arriving in Queens has come up with big hit after big hit. 

Everything seems to be going perfectly for the Mets right now. Case in point: Kodai Senga could return before the end of the regular season. 

Furthermore, Paul Blackburn is set to return to the rotation, so the Mets are getting key reinforcements back when they need them the most. Having a healthy rotation could prove to be the difference down the stretch.

Charlotte Flair Will Return From Injury Soon 

Things are looking up for Charlotte Flair after her severe injuries have kept her away from action. 

The top star continues documenting her journey to returning to in-ring action on social media. She is focused on getting back to performing in front of fans as soon as possible.

Flair has been sidelined since she tore her ACL, MCL, and meniscus in December on WWE SmackDown in a match with Asuka. The nasty moment happened as Flair did a spot in the corner, seemingly twisted when falling, and immediately grabbed her knee.

After the surgery, she has been rehabbing and documenting her progress. Flair recently took to her Instagram Story to share in-ring training footage from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL, which gave fans hope about her return.

The former WWE Women’s Champion’s current timetable for return is November. 

Mets Bend, Don’t Break in 5-3 Win Over White Sox

It wasn’t easy, but the New York Mets hung on to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-3 on Saturday night. New York had opportunities to pull away in this game, but they got just enough out of their bullpen and offense for the win. 

The 9th inning was scary. Many 9th innings have been scary for this Mets team. However, once again, the Mets manager showed faith in his player, and the faith paid off in the win.

When you face a team like the White Sox, the goal is to get on the board early. The Mets big power-hitting first baseman got things started on Saturday. In the 1st inning, with Mark Vientos on base, Pete Alonso took a first-pitch slider from White Sox starter Davis Martin over the left field wall for a two-run home run. 

It was Alonso’s 30th home run of the season. It was also his first ever against the White Sox. Alonso now has hit 30 home runs for the fourth consecutive season.

With the Mets up 5-2 going into the 9th and Edwin Díaz unavailable, Manager Carlos Mendoza turned to José Buttó to get the final 3-outs.
