ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Sean Manaea struck out nine in six innings, Francisco Alvarez doubled and scored twice while driving in two runs, and the New York Mets beat the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 6-3 on Tuesday night in their first game with Andy Green as their full-time manager.

Earlier in the day, the Mets (71-86) gave Green a three-year contract. He had been their interim manager since Carlos Mendoza was fired on June 26.
