Sean Manaea’s dominance, clutch hits lead Mets to huge win over Phillies

The word that kept popping up was “unbelievable.”
It was an “unbelievable” atmosphere, manager Carlos Mendoza said. Luisangel Acuna’s steadiness and excellence in his first week in the majors, in which he has been thrust into a playoff chase, has been “unbelievable,” Brandon Nimmo said. The desire that Francisco Alvarez plays with is “unbelievable,” Nimmo added.
The Amazin’ Mets have gained a new adjective in a campaign that has played out fairly unbelievably and is threatening to play out longer than expected. Saturday’s game technically took place on Sept. 21 but had the weight and feeling of October.
It was not just the atmosphere, though, that seemed worthy of the postseason: The Mets are playing like a playoff team.

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
