August 1, 2025
Pitchers Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers and outfielder Cedric Mullins jumped into a pennant race when they joined the National League-East leading New York Mets in search of the franchise’s first championship since 1986. The Mets, who fell to the eventual World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers in last year’s NLCS, entered Friday with a half-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies.
