Francisco Alvarez homers twice as Mets beat Phillies 4-1 under smoky sky

PHILADELPHIA (AP) --- Francisco Alvarez homered twice, Brett Baty also went
deep and the New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on Thursday
night in the first major league game following the All-Star break.
The start time was pushed up an hour and the teams played under a hazy sky with
diminishing air quality because of smoke that moved into the region from
wildfires burning in Canada and Minnesota.
Christian Scott (3-1) pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings for the Mets, who launched
three solo homers off starter Aaron Nola.
New York slugger Juan Soto was removed in the eighth because of left calf
soreness.
