The New York Mets secured a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Guardians on Thursday with a 13-6 victory, bouncing back after a difficult stretch that included a trade deadline sell-off of multiple players. Francisco Lindor drove in three runs with a home run, while Luis Torrens added three more RBIs in the offensive outburst.
All-Star Foster Griffin struggled in his first start for the Guardians, allowing five runs in four innings. One source noted the Mets' bullpen also excelled in the victory. Mets starter Nolan McLean dealt with control issues during the outing but "made the adjustment" to help secure the win, per one report.
The sweep marks the Mets' third consecutive victory since the trade deadline. ESPN reported that the loss dropped the free-falling Guardians out of the wild-card spot.
