WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — New York Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez needs an MRI on his right thumb after he jammed his hand on a head-first slide into second base against Seattle.

Angelo Magliocca, who is up 123.5 units over the last three MLB seasons, gives his best same-game parlay for Mariners vs. Mets in the Little League Classic on Sunday Night Baseball

Mark Vientos hit a three-run homer to the delight of hundreds of cheering 12-year-olds and sent the New York Mets to a 7-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday night in the Major League Baseball Little League Classic.

After Francisco Lindor couldn't make a catch on a line drive in the fourth inning of the Mets' win over the Mariners, he blamed his parents.

The 66-year-old has made plenty of changes to the game since taking over in 2015, such as the advent of the pitch clock, limiting mound visits, and increasing the size of bases. The league also added the "Manfred Man" under his watch, giving teams a runner on second at the start of extra innings during the regular season.

Carlos Mendoza was thrilled to learn the Little League World Series had a team this summer that represented his Venezuelan hometown. The Mets manager struck up a conversation with some kids from Barquisimeto on his trip to the stadium where the traditional youth tournament is held — only to find the ballplayers a bit distracted by the big leaguers around them.

The Brewers take over the top spot in the MLB Power Rankings while the Mets continue to fall even after a series win.

“Look, he was pretty impressive,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. “And I feel like Senga on [Thursday], Sean on [Friday] found a way to give us five innings. You got another outing where a starter goes back out for the sixth.
