Bichette entered Wednesday as one of baseball's hottest hitters and reinforced that status with another standout performance. The two-time MLB All-Star went 3-for-4 with a walk, three runs scored and an RBI, reaching base four times while showing no signs of slowing down.
The performance marked Bichette's sixth consecutive multi-hit game. He also avoided a strikeout, extending a stretch that has helped stabilize the Mets lineup behind Juan Soto . Over his last 13 games, Bichette is hitting .436 while delivering extra-base power and steady run production.
McLean delivered one of the best starts of his young career. The rookie worked seven scoreless innings and struck out nine batters. His effort helped New York collect its second-highest hit total of the season while improving to 33-41.
The win mattered beyond the box score because New York has been looking for sustained offense to support its young pitching, and Bichette's timing has helped change the tone of the lineup.

Following the victory, SNY Mets shared comments from manager Carlos Mendoza on X, formerly Twitter, as he discussed Bichette's breakout afternoon and recent surge at the plate.
"Not surprised by it he's a really good player"
The praise from the Mets manager reflects the confidence the organization still has in Bichette despite his slow start to the 2026 season. The manager has watched the veteran steadily regain form throughout June.
The recent turnaround has become one of the club's most encouraging developments. Bichette has produced five doubles, one triple, three home runs, and 14 RBI during his hot stretch.
