The Mets and Braves last met just over a week ago in a three-game series in New York. Pete Alonso scored two home runs in the opener to become the Mets all-time leading home-run scorer in front of a delighted crowd at Citi Field. Alonso - known as the Polar Bear - has now hit 254 home runs for the franchise since joining in 2016.

After Nolan McLean's success, the Mets are considering calling up another top prospect to strengthen the rotation.

Tong has quickly become one of the best prospects in the Mets’ farm system. He had posted solid numbers in his first two seasons, but he took a huge leap forward in 2025. Not only is he turning into the best pitching prospect in their system, but, arguably, the best in all of baseball this year.
