Alvarez supplied the central performance, delivering extra-base hits and driving the Mets' offense while Sean Manaea provided the foundation on the mound. Manaea earned the win after a sharp start, and the Mets' bullpen protected the advantage.
The game moved back and forth early. Juan Soto's single brought Francisco Alvarez home in the third, before Josh Jung's double brought Danny Jansen across for Texas. Francisco Alvarez then reached on a fielding error by Brandon Nimmo, allowing Carson Benge to score. Texas answered with sacrifice flies from Elias Díaz and Wyatt Langford, but Alvarez's sharp fly-ball double in the sixth brought home Carson Benge and Marcus Semien to put New York ahead. Luis Torrens added a sacrifice fly, and Carson Benge's double later brought Brett Baty home.
Texas briefly matched New York's early pressure, but Nathan Eovaldi absorbed the pivotal damage in the sixth. New York's relief corps then kept the Rangers off the board, with Nate Lavender, Dedniel Nunez and Kodai Senga combining to close out the win.
The Mets extended their winning streak, while the Rangers' losing streak continued. In a seesaw game, the late rally belonged to New York.
