Mets Make Roster Decisions

The Mets have made their decisions about who they will add as rosters expanded to 28 players on Sunday.

The team announced that they have recalled left-handed reliever Alex Young and selected infielder Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Syracuse.

Alex Young will bolster the Mets bullpen with a second left-handed reliever alongside Danny Young while Reyes offers another versatile option in the infield.

The Mets have put themselves in a position to push for a playoff spot. Following Saturday’s second straight win over the White Sox, the Mets improved to 72-64 and two games back of the final National League wild card spot. They are four games behind both the Padres and Diamondbacks for the top two wild card spots.

49ers Cruise Past Jets, 32-19

Aaron Rodgers’ return didn’t go quite as planned on Monday night.

The San Francisco 49ers rolled over Rodgers and the New York Jets on “Monday Night Football” to officially wrap up the opening week of the new NFL season. The 49ers cruised to a 32-19 win at Levi’s Stadium.

Brock Purdy went 19-of-29 for 231 yards for the 49ers in the win. Jordan Mason ran for 147 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries. Jauan Jennings had 64 receiving yards on five catches.

Aaron Rogers went 13-of-21 for 167 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Jets. Breece Hall, who scored in the first half, had 54 rushing yards on 16 carries. Lazard finished with a game-high 89 receiving yards and two touchdowns on six catches.

Vikings Rout Giants 28-6

Viking QB Sam Darnold had one of those super performances at MetLife Stadium that New York Jets fans hoped to see weekly after he was drafted No. 3 overall in 2018. 

Six years later as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, he did it against, of all teams, the Giants on his old home turf.

Darnold threw two touchdown passes in a highly efficient performance and Andrew Van Ginkel scored on a spectacular one-handed 10-yard interception return to lead the Vikings to an easy 28-6 victory over the woeful New York Giants on Sunday.

Giants QB Daniel Jones did not play well and finished 22 of 42 for 186 yards and two interceptions.
