In early August 2026 the Cleveland Guardians and New York Mets each added veteran relievers on minor‑league contracts, with the Guardians signing left‑hander Ryan Borucki and the Mets promoting right‑hander Kevin Herget from Triple‑A. Both moves were aimed at bolstering bullpen depth ahead of the trade deadline. A few days later the two clubs met in an interleague series at Progressive Field. The Mets defeated the Guardians 6‑2, highlighted by a three‑run homer from catcher Luis Torrens and solid starting work from Sean Manaea. The game featured the MLB debut of reliever Nate Lavender, who recorded a strikeout and a hold for the winning effort. Injuries kept Juan Soto out for New York and Jose Ramirez sidelined for Cleveland. The August 4 victory snapped a three‑game Mets losing streak and gave New York a 48‑66 record, taking a 1‑0 lead in the three‑game series. Bo Bichette added a solo shot and rookie Carson Benge launched a 451‑foot homer, the longest at Progressive Field this season. Rookie Angel Genao made a historic debut, collecting four hits – the first player in the Guardians' 125‑year history to do so. Joey Cantillo was charged with the loss for Cleveland. The game was aired on SNY and streamed via MLB.TV and DIRECTV.
