Robert Jr. homers twice against his former team as Mets beat White Sox
Tristan Peters hit a walk-off home run in the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday, securing a series win. The Mets had tied the game in the top of the inning after trailing 1-0, but Peters’ 406-foot blast sealed Chicago’s 11th walk-off win of the season.
Peters’ Walk-Off Lifts White Sox Past Mets to Series Win
CHICAGO — Tristan Peters homered with one out in the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday, securing a series win at Rate Field. The walk-off blast, which traveled 406 feet into the center-field seats, was Peters’ third walk-off hit of the season and the White Sox’s second walk-off win of the series.
The Mets had tied the game in the top of the ninth when Jared Young singled home Carson Benge, who had reached on a one-out single. But Peters answered immediately, driving a pitch from Kodai Senga (0-9) over the fence. The home run was Peters’ ninth of the season, and he finished the day 2-for-4.
Andrew Benintendi had given Chicago a 1-0 lead in the eighth with an RBI double that scored Miguel Vargas, who had reached base earlier in the inning. Benintendi’s hit came off Daniel Duarte, who had entered in relief of Mets starter Nolan McLean. McLean had dominated through six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and four walks while striking out six.
Grant Taylor (6-2) earned the win despite allowing the tying run. He worked a two-hit ninth, striking out two batters. The White Sox bullpen as a whole allowed just one run over seven innings, with Sean Newcomb, Erick Fedde, and Hagen Smith combining for five hits allowed and eight strikeouts over the first eight innings.
The series victory was a rebound for the White Sox, who had given up 10 runs in Saturday’s 10-5 loss to the Mets. In that game, Luis Robert Jr. hit two home runs against his former team, and Bo Bichette, Carson Benge, and Luis Torrens also went deep for New York.
The White Sox, who lead the AL Central by 3.5 games over the Guardians, now head into a three-game home series against the Rangers starting Monday. They have not announced a starter for that game. The Mets, who are 59-72, travel to Milwaukee to face the Brewers on Tuesday, with Zac Thornton (3-4, 3.04 ERA) scheduled to start.
Peters’ walk-off home run also made franchise history. He became the fifth different White Sox player to hit a walk-off home run this season, tying the most for the franchise in a single season. He joined Miguel Vargas, Edgar Quero, Braden Montgomery, and Jake Rogers in achieving that feat.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
