(AP Photo/Angelina Katsanis) NEW YORK (AP) — Pete Alonso and Jared Young each hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and the New York Mets beat the Chicago White Sox 6-4 on Tuesday night for their fourth consecutive comeback victory. Tylor Megill (4-4) recovered from a shaky start, allowing two runs in 5 2/3 innings, to help the Mets (34-21) match a season high at 13 games above .500 with their 14th come-from-behind win. Advertisement Miguel Vargas homered and drove in three runs for the White Sox, hitting an RBI double off the top of the left-field fence that nearly tied the score in the seventh. Megill gave up a two-run homer to Vargas in the first, but the Mets sent 10 batters to the plate against Jonathan Cannon (2-6) in the bottom half — even though a zany mixup on the bases cost Juan Soto a hit. Alonso followed with his 11th homer and second in three nights after droughts of 16 games and 65 at-bats that were the longest of his career. Brett Baty singled and Young gave New York a 4-2 lead with his third career homer. Young also doubled to set up Jeff McNeil's sacrifice fly in the third. Advertisement Francisco Lindor added an RBI single in the eighth. Chicago cut it to 5-4 in the seventh on a run-scoring passed ball and Vargas' double before José Castillo struck out rookie Edgar Quero with two runners aboard to end the inning. Reed Garrett got five outs for his second save — both in the past three games. Key moment Megill exited to a warm hand after issuing consecutive walks that loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth. Lenyn Sosa sent José Buttó's first pitch into left-center, where McNeil made a running catch to end the threat. Key stat Young's homer was his first hit for the Mets since getting called up from the minors Saturday — and his first major league home run since September 2023 with the Chicago Cubs.

Knicks fans came to MSG for a party. They left trying to convince themselves about Game 6
They all arrived at the Garden looking for a celebration — the type that could last all through the night and weekend — that hadn't happened here since 2000. The Knicks fans that showed up for the watch party chanted 'Knicks in five' with the score tied at halftime, but in the moments after Game 5 ended and they spilled into the streets, 'Knicks in six' served as the updated soundtrack for the New York City night. The Knicks had a chance to eliminate the Celtics and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in 25 years. Boston didn't have superstar Jayson Tatum after he tore his Achilles. But now, after an ugly 127-102 loss that didn't even feel that close by the end of it, the Knicks gave the defending champs some life. And they're about to find out how dangerous that might be. Advertisement 10 Young Knicks fans follow Game 5 on the jumbotron during a watch party at Madison Square Garden. Angelina Katsanis For at least the first half, the watch party — diehards occupied many of the sections as the TNT broadcast played on the jumbotron with in-game contests and dancing on the court during commercial breaks — reflected a scaled-down version of a home playoff game. They roared, louder and louder each time, when Mitchell Robinson made his free throws and the Celtics' hack-a-Mitch strategy backfired. There was a groan when Josh Hart took a Luke Kornet elbow to the eye and was bloodied, and then an even more noticeable roar when he changed his jersey, stayed in the game and sank his free throws.

(AP Photo/Angelina Katsanis) EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jaxson Dart absolutely sparkled in his debut for the New York Giants. And he can thank his sister's jewelry collection for that. The first-round quarterback showed up for his news conference after his first practice of rookie minicamp Friday wearing a dazzling necklace that featured shiny, diamondlike-filled hearts. And the bling caught everyone's attention, especially when the lights from the team's indoor facility shined off it. Advertisement 'So, my little sister had it, it was hers,' a smiling Dart said. "It was before our bowl game and as I was leaving the house over Christmas — a little break before the bowl game — and just saw it in her room. And I was like, you know what, I kind of like it. 'So, I put it on and it's kind of been good luck for me ever since.' At the Gator Bowl in January, Dart was selected the MVP after leading Mississippi to a 52-20 thrashing of Duke while wearing the necklace. He threw for 404 yards and four touchdowns, further cementing himself as one of the draft's top available quarterbacks. The Giants were so enthralled with Dart's talent that they traded back into the first round last month to take him with the 25th overall pick. The 21-year-old quarterback appeared to be wearing the necklace that day — and again when he was formally introduced by the team. Advertisement 'She likes it, she likes it,' a grinning Dart said when asked what his sister thinks of him wearing her jewelry. 'Now my little brother ordered one, too, so.' It wasn't immediately known if the necklace actually contains diamonds or what material it was made of, but this one is staying around Dart's neck for now. Oh, and his sister eventually got a replacement for her jewelry box. 'Yeah, we got her another one, too,' the quarterback said. Dart joins the Giants seemingly with no pressure to play this season since New York signed veterans Russell Wilson — who's slated to be the starter — and Jameis Winston as free agents. Advertisement But being on the sideline will be a new experience for Dart, who has been a starter for as long as he can remember. 'I haven't really sat before,' he acknowledged. That dates to his high school days in Utah, followed by a one-year stint at USC where he started three games as a freshman and then three years at Ole Miss. 'I'm a competitor, so I'm going to come to work each and every day and do my best to make everybody around me better," he said. "I understand what the situation is, but for me and myself, I care about winning. There's nothing fun about losing, so it doesn't matter where you're at on the depth chart, if you're playing this much or not playing this much, if you're losing, it (stinks). Advertisement 'So, for me, I want to make the team better, and that's my focus.' Dart is wearing No. 6 on his first jersey with the Giants — he was No. 2 at Ole Miss — but he acknowledged calling an audible might still be in play. 'Yeah, I think we'll come to a final decision here soon," Dart said. "Quite honestly, I kind of have to just look at the pictures to see if I like myself in (No.) 6.' ___ AP NFL:

Giants first-round pick Abdul Carter chooses No. 51 after headline-making search

(AP Photo/Angelina Katsanis) EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Abdul Carter has tackled his first big task in the NFL — choosing a jersey number. After a search that made some headlines, the New York Giants' first-round pick is wearing No. 51 with the team, which took the field for the start of its rookie minicamp Friday. Advertisement Carter said he'll wear the jersey number, which he chose because 'it was available,' moving forward but added it's 'going to have grow on me.' That came after Carter's request to wear the retired No. 56 of Lawrence Taylor was nixed by the Pro Football Hall of Famer, who was honored but urged the third overall pick of the draft to create a legacy with his own number. 'He has to be the player that he is,' Taylor told ESPN two weeks ago. 'He can't be another Lawrence Taylor. Well, he may be better than a Lawrence Taylor, who knows? But he has to make his mark. It's up to him.' Carter wore No. 11 at Penn State — but that number is also retired by the Giants in honor of quarterback Phil Simms. The two-time Super Bowl winner said during a recent interview with FanDuel that he was open to having Carter wear his No. 11, but Simms' family decided against it. Advertisement So that had Carter still searching for a number, which was finally revealed along with those of the rest of the Giants rookies shortly before minicamp practice kicked off. ___ AP NFL:

Thibodeau critical of 'huge discrepancy' in free throws after Knicks fall to Pistons in Game 2

(AP Photo/Angelina Katsanis) NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Knicks left the court for halftime down by six on the scoreboard and way behind in the free throw statistics. The Detroit Pistons wound up shooting 34 free throws Monday night in their 100-94 victory over the Knicks, who took 19 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round matchup. Advertisement The series is even and Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said afterward the free throws need to be as well. 'Obviously huge discrepancy in free throws,' Thibodeau said. 'Huge. I've got to take a look at that.' Thibodeau felt that Jalen Brunson, his point guard, wasn't getting the same type of calls that fellow All-Star Cade Cunningham received. The Knicks clearly want to be physical with Cunningham, as they were in their Game 1 victory, but struggled to do it without being whistled for fouls Monday. 'I don't understand how on one side you talk about direct line drives. The guy is getting fouled and it's not being called,' Thibodeau said. 'And look, I don't really give a crap how they call the game, as long as it's consistent on both sides. So, if Cunningham is driving and there is marginal contact and he is getting to the line, then Jalen deserves to be getting to the line. It's really that simple.' Advertisement The free throws for those two players were actually about even. Cunningham finished 10 for 12, while Brunson was 9 for 11. And Ausar Thompson, the primary defender on Brunson, fouled out of the game. But the Knicks struggled to shake their frustration with the officiating in the first half. The Pistons took 14 free throws in the first two quarters and Brunson attempted the only two given to the Knicks. Thibodeau frequently complains about the pounding Brunson takes and the Knicks keep a close eye on the officiating, even taking the rare step of including a breakdown of the game's three officials and some of their relevant stats in their pregame media notes. Brunson thinks maybe they need to worry less during the games. Advertisement 'Regardless if fouls are being called or not called, we've got to adjust and I feel like we did that a little too late into the game,' he said. 'And so regardless of how it's reffed, we've got to adjust and we've got to adapt to that and go on from there.' ___ AP NBA:
