Giants 4 Mets 3 Post Game Notes - 8/1/2025

Newsday: "After the Mets rallied from two runs down to tie it in the eighth inning, new acquisition Ryan Helsley — a two-time All-Star closer with the Cardinals — struck out three and touched 100 mph seven times in a scoreless ninth. But former Met Dominic Smith’s RBI single off Edwin Diaz in the 10th gave the Giants the lead, and the Mets could not produce the tying run with the top of their order up in a 4-3 loss in front of 42,777 at a sold-out Citi Field."

AP Sports: "The Mets overcame a 3-0 deficit to force extra innings before losing their fourth straight game and falling out of first place in the National League East. New York is a half-game behind Philadelphia. Casey Schmitt and Patrick Bailey each had an RBI double and Jung Hoo Lee added a run-scoring groundout before Pete Alonso began the Mets’ comeback with a homer in the seventh — the 249th of his career. Alonso is within three homers of Darryl Strawberry, who holds the franchise record at 252. The Mets tied the game in the eighth when Juan Soto had an RBI single and Alonso lofted a sacrifice fly."

NY Post: "Ryan Helsley overpowering hitters with triple-digit heat. Cedric Mullins pinch-hitting in the ninth inning of a tie game. The top of the order showing signs of breaking out of its collective slump. There were flashes of the type of team that the post-deadline Mets hope to be. Just not enough of them."
