Mets Announce Changes After Loss to White Sox
Mets Announce Changes After Loss to White Sox originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Mets' four-game winning streak came to an abrupt end on Wednesday night, as they suffered a 9-4 defeat to the Chicago White Sox at Citi Field. The loss was marked by a combination of shaky pitching and defensive miscues that allowed the White Sox to capitalize early and maintain their lead throughout the game. Advertisement Mets starter Griffin Canning, who now owns a 3.23 ERA on the season, struggled in this one, lasting only three innings and surrendering five runs—two of which were unearned—on four hits and four walks. Defensive errors by Brett Baty and Jeff McNeil further compounded the Mets' troubles, leading to extended innings and additional scoring opportunities for the White Sox.

His contributions were pivotal in the White Sox's victory, which helped them avoid a series sweep. In response to the bullpen's recent struggles, the Mets announced roster changes ahead of Friday's showdown against the Colorado Rockies. Right-handed pitcher Chris Devenski was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, while left-handed pitcher Brandon Waddell was optioned back to Syracuse. Devenski, a 34-year-old veteran, has had a challenging season, posting a 9.00 ERA with two strikeouts over limited innings. Waddell, 30, has a 3.86 ERA with seven strikeouts in 9.1 innings pitched.

The four potential sellers that could shake up MLB's looming trade deadline
The season has progressed beyond the feeling-out portion. After Memorial Day weekend, MLB has entered the fascinating third of the schedule that culminates with the July 31 trade deadline. Most teams mainly will stall at least through the July 13-14 draft before declaring if they are buyers, sellers or standing pat. Though, for some, it is already midnight. The Rockies are on the way to being the worst team ever, and the only positives for the White Sox are that they are not as bad as last year's White Sox (yet) or this season's Rockies. But Chicago already has done much of its main selling, notably moving Garrett Crochet in the offseason. Advertisement Perhaps an offensively hungry team can buy low on the once-upon-time of the White Sox's faded Andrew Benintendi and/or Luis Robert Jr., but neither is worth his contract, much less giving up real assets — Robert had the 11th-worst OPS-plus among qualifiers entering the weekend.

Benintendi's big day sends White Sox to 9-4 win over Mets
Andrew Benintendi had a season-high four RBIs and finished a double shy of the cycle Wednesday, powering the Chicago White Sox to a 9-4 win over the New York Mets that prevented a three-game sweep. Benintendi laced a two-run single in the first inning and an RBI triple in the sixth before hitting his sixth homer in the eighth. Lenyn Sosa also had three hits and Mike Tauchman provided a two-run double for the White Sox, who avoided being swept for the seventh time this season. Brandon Eisert (2-0), the second of five Chicago pitchers, earned the win with 1 1/3 hitless innings. With light rain falling, Miguel Castro exited with two outs in the ninth after injuring his right knee covering first base on Juan Soto's groundout. Castro needed to be helped off the field and was on crutches in the clubhouse afterward. He will undergo testing and be evaluated further. Mark Vientos hit a three-run homer for the Mets, whose four-game winning streak ended. Pete Alonso had an RBI double in the ninth. The nine runs allowed were a season high for the Mets. Soto was 0 for 4 and didn't get a ball out of the infield as his batting average dipped to .224. Soto hasn't homered since May 9, a span of 75 plate appearances. White Sox starter Shane Smith allowed three runs and walked five in 3 2/3 innings. Mets right-hander Griffin Canning (5-2) gave up five runs — three earned — while walking four in three innings. Benintendi singled home Tauchman and Miguel Vargas one pitch after Vargas' one-out double in the first. Vargas has doubled in five straight games, the longest streak by a White Sox player since Adam Dunn in May 2011. Both teams are off Thursday. White Sox RHP Sean Burke (3-5, 4.33 ERA) starts Friday in Baltimore. Mets LHP David Peterson (3-2, 2.79) pitches at home against Colorado LHP Kyle Freeland (0-7, 5.86). ___ AP MLB:
