Series Overview – White Sox win 2 of 3 in Queens

You roll into New York at 17–36 and walk out 19–37 with a road series win over a Mets team that started the set at 24–30.

The offense put up 22 runs on 37 hits in three games, with Chase Meidroth setting the tone on top, Luis Robert Jr. supplying star-power homers, and the bullpen locking down both victories.

Game 1 – Sox 7, Mets 3

(5/26 – W: Scholtens, L: Canning)

Miguel Vargas got you on the board early with a solo shot in the 2nd.

The Mets answered with a third-inning rally, but the game flipped in the 5th:

Meidroth’s leadoff walk, Benintendi single, and Edgar Quero’s RBI double tied it 3–3.

In the 7th, patience and chaos won it: walks to Meidroth and Quero, a passed ball, and Josh Rojas’ RBI knock turned a tie into a 6–3 lead.

Luis Robert Jr. put the bow on it with a 9th-inning homer to right.

On the mound, Tyler Schweitzer survived 4 rough innings, but your bullpen was nails:
Scholtens, Clevinger, Shuster, and Gilbert combined for 5 scoreless, allowing just one hit to finish it off.

Headline feel: Bullpen slams the door, top of the order grinds Canning down for a statement road win.

Game 2 – Mets 15, Sox 10

(5/27 – L: D. Martin, W: Megill)

This one was pure chaos.

You jump 3–0 in the 1st on doubles from Meidroth, Vargas, and Quero, then immediately give up 5 runs in the 2nd as Davis Martin can’t hold the lead.

The Mets keep piling on: Lindor solo shot, then Alvarez and McNeil go deep in a three-run 3rd.

By the end of the 3rd it’s 8–3 Mets, and they blow it open with a 7-run 6th highlighted by Jared Young’s big double and another Alvarez bomb.

Offensively you still kept punching:

A three-run 6th (Vargas double, Robert double, Rojas & Rosario knocks) made it 8–6.

Nick Maton’s 3-run homer in the 8th plus a late RBI double in the 9th gave him a huge night and dragged you to double digits.

But the pitching line tells the story:

Davis Martin + Murfee + Anderson + Gilbert: 8.0 IP, 15 R, 15 ER, four homers allowed.

Headline feel: Lineup shows life, but Alvarez and the Mets’ middle of the order absolutely torch the staff in a slugfest loss.

Game 3 – Sox 5, Mets 3

(5/28 – W: Eisert, SV: Shuster)

Rubber game, Senga on the hill, and you still take the series.

You punch back immediately after the Mets’ 3-spot in the 1st.

Nick Maton and Eguy Rosario reach in the 2nd, Alfonzo plates a run, and Meidroth rips a 2-run double to tie it 3–3.

In the 4th, Rosario’s leadoff double and smart baserunning (steal of third, sac fly from Alfonzo) push you ahead 4–3.

From there it’s all pitching and one superstar swing:

Shane Smith weathers a brutal first but hangs in for 3.2 innings;

Eisert + Clevinger: 4.1 shutout with traffic but no damage;

Jared Shuster gets the last four outs, dancing through a 9th-inning minefield with Soto, Lindor and a bases-loaded jam.

Insurance arrives in the 9th when Luis Robert Jr. turns a 3-1 count into a laser HR to left, giving Shuster breathing room to finish it.

Headline feel: Grinding at-bats, aggressive running, and a gutty bullpen effort outduel Senga and close out a tight series win.

Series Standouts

Chase Meidroth – Table-setter from hell. Multiple multi-hit games, extra-base power (three doubles), and a ton of walks. He was on base constantly and scored 6 runs in the set.

Luis Robert Jr. – Legit star impact: homers in Games 1 and 3, plus a big RBI double in the Game 2 comeback attempt. He’s the guy everyone else is orbiting.

Eguy Rosario – Extra-base machine in the finale (two doubles) and some sneaky RBI work in the first two games.

Nick Maton – Quiet first game, then exploded: 3-run HR + big late double in Game 2, plus an RBI and another extra-base hit in Game 3.

Bullpen in the wins –

Game 1: 5 scoreless.

Game 3: 5.1 scoreless.
When you win, it’s because the pen slams the door.

Big Picture

You take a road series from a better-record team, and your run differential for the set is only -1 despite the 15-run Mets blowout.

The offense is trending up: double-digit runs in 2 of the last 4, and the top 5 of the order (Meidroth–Benintendi–Vargas/Robert–Rojas–Rosario/Maton) looks like an actual problem for opponents.

The concern remains the rotation depth: Schweitzer, Martin, and Smith all had shaky outings; you’re leaning heavily on the bullpen to cover 4–5 innings every night.
