Mets walked off by White Sox, allow 3 straight home runs in sixth inning

CHICAGO (AP) — The long ball did the Mets in Friday night as they allowed four home runs, capped off by Jake Rogers' walk-off two-run homer in the ninth inning in the White Sox's 6-4 victory.

Rogers' winning homer came with two outs in the ninth inning off Jefry Yan

Colson Montgomery opened the ninth with a walk, and pinch-runner Braden Montgomery advanced on Brenton Doyle's sacrifice bunt. After a Luisangel Acuna ground out, Rogers drove a 98.1-mph fastball deep to center for his first homer since he was claimed off waivers from Boston last week.

Yan, known for his high-flying celebrations on the mound, was charged with his first loss in his seventh major league game.

Miguel Vargas, Randal Grichuk and Colson Montgomery hit back-to-back-to-back homers for Chicago in the sixth. Grant Taylor (5-2) got three outs for the win.

The AL Central leaders had dropped three of four.

Bo Bichette homered for New York, and Brett Baty had two hits and two RBIs. Marcus Semien contributed a run-scoring single.

The last-place Mets had won five of six.

New York jumped to a 4-0 lead. Luis Robert Jr. was credited with a double when Doyle misplayed his fly ball to center in the fourth, and Baty followed with a liner to right for a two-run double. Bichette added a two-out solo drive in the fifth.

Sean Manaea pitched shutout ball for the Mets before running into trouble in the sixth. With Munetaka Murakami aboard after a one-out walk, Vargas hit a drive to left for his 29th homer. Grichuk went deep for his 11th on the season, and Montgomery tied it at 4 with his 27th of the year.

It was the second time this season that Chicago hit back-to-back-to-back homers.
