Sandy Alcántara’s seven-inning, one-run gem collided with a heated moment as Mark Vientos was hit by a 90 mph changeup, sparking a benches-clearing scene. Nimmo and others bounded from the Mets’ dugout, but no punches landed. Vientos has been red-hot lately, 18-for-53 in 14 games with eight homers and 21 RBIs, fueling New York’s late-season push. The Mets’ offense features Soto and Nimmo atop a lineup that could gain more momentum, while Senga provided a solid start behind the scenes.

Juan Soto’s historic 30-30 chase is noted as part of the Mets’ high-end offense, and Senga’s strong showing keeps the rotation in the mix. With talk of September call-ups like Brandon Sproat in the air, fantasy players should watch how Vientos’ run continues and how Alcántara handles the Mets again in the coming weeks.
