Guardians reliever Nic Enright, battling lymphoma, earns emotional first save
NEW YORK (AP) — The first career save for Nic Enright was a particularly meaningful one. Enright, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in late 2022 and is scheduled to complete his treatments later this year, allowed an unearned run in the 10th inning Monday night to close out the Cleveland Guardians' 7-6 win over the New York Mets. 'He was almost crying on the field just now,' Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said. 'If you read his story, it's pretty inspirational.' Cleveland selected Enright in the 20th round of the 2019 amateur draft out of Virginia Tech. He received his diagnosis Dec. 22, 2022 — 15 days after the Miami Marlins took him in the Rule 5 draft. After four rounds of immunotherapy in early 2023, Enright made nine minor league rehab appearances for the Marlins before being designated for assignment and returning to the Guardians in late May. He missed most of last season due to a right shoulder strain, but went 2-1 with a 1.06 ERA in 16 appearances with Triple-A Columbus. The right-hander has one more round of cancer treatment scheduled for November. 'I made the decision when I was diagnosed in 2022 with Hodgkin lymphoma that I wasn't going to let that define my life and dictate how I was going to go about my life,' Enright said. 'It's something where, for anyone else who is going through anything similar, (it shows) I haven't just holed up in my house and felt sorry for myself this whole time.' Enright made his major league debut May 25 and has a 2.01 ERA in 19 appearances for the Guardians, whose bullpen is in flux with All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase on paid leave as part of a sports gambling investigation. Hunter Gaddis and Cade Smith pitched the eighth and ninth innings Monday before Enright entered with a two-run lead. He gave up a two-out RBI single to Brett Baty before retiring Luis Torrens on a fly out to the warning track in right. 'I definitely held my breath as I saw Nolan (Jones) kind of keep running,' Enright said. 'But I had faith. As he kind of got closer to the wall, I realized it was losing steam.' Enright was showered with beer by teammates in the locker room. 'I was so happy, oh, I was going nuts in here,' Guardians starting pitcher Slade Cecconi said with a smile. 'I was going absolutely berserk. He came in running up the stairs, smile on his face.' Enright thanked his wife, his parents and the rest of his family for their support throughout an interview at his locker. He got the ball from the final out and plans to set aside his uniform and hat as well as a lineup card. 'Really, really cool,' Enright said. 'These last couple of years, especially, I've gone through a lot of adversity and just everything that's gone on. And so for me, it's being able to reflect on those in these moments. I think that helps being able to slow the game down. Because it hasn't exactly been a red-carpet rollout for my career trajectory.' ___

Pete Alonso's three-run blast puts him within one homer of tying Mets' record
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Pete Alonso is one homer away from history. Monday night against the Guardians, Alonso sent another ball to the stands in the bottom of the sixth inning for the 251st of his career — all with the Mets. With that home run, Alonso now sits just one shy of Darryl Strawberry's franchise record of 252. It took Strawberry, who represented the Mets as an All-Star seven times and finished in the top three in National League MVP balloting two times, 1,109 games from 1983-90. Alonso, who debuted in 2019, is ready to surpass the record in fewer than 1,000 games. 3 Mets first base Pete Alonso (20) gets on during the eighth inning when the New York Mets played the Cleveland Guardians Monday, August 4, 2025 at Citi Field in Queens, NY. Robert Sabo for NY Post Alonso's lone homer was just one part of a masterful night at the plate for the typical everyday first baseman, who started at DH. He went 4-for-5 with four RBIs in the 10-inning, 7-6 loss to the Guardians. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS 'I was just on time today,' Alonso said. 'Body felt good, and just felt in sync and on time today.' His bat was a spark plug for what was a lethargic Mets offense before the sixth inning. 3 Pete Alonso #20 of the New York Mets rounds the bases on his three-run home run. Jason Szenes / New York Post His three-run home run was what opened the scoring for the Mets after they saw a scoreless game turn into a five-run deficit in the blink of an eye. In the eighth, Alonso stepped up and hit an RBI single that put the game within one run. Then, with the game tied and the bases loaded in the ninth, Alonso had a chance to end it, but he struck out swinging. Some might think that was the most frustrating part of the night for Alonso. He thought otherwise. 3 Pete Alonso #20 of the New York Mets hits a RBI single during the 8th inning. Jason Szenes / New York Post 'To be honest, it'd be more frustrating if we didn't do anything, if we just kind of lay down right there,' Alonso said. 'So I think it would be more frustrating that way.' Even though Alonso did not come through in the ninth, manager Carlos Mendoza thought it was still a good night for the slugger. 'It's a perfect night for Pete, all the way until that last at bat,' Mendoza said. 'They threw fastballs by him there and they got him.'
