New York — Pete Alonso combined for a season-high five RBIs with Francisco Lindor on a first-inning homer off Dylan Cease that gave the lead a three-run lead after 16 pitches, and surging New York. The New York Mets beat the San Diego Padres 11-6 on Sunday. Fifth consecutive win.
Tyler Magill (2-3) allowed two runs and five hits over five innings as the Mets took a 7-1 lead and defeated San Diego for the first time since 2006.
“These are some of the games we lost in May and today we found a way,” Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said.
San Diego has lost its seventh straight road game and falls below .500, 37-38. The Padres averaged 2.2 runs per game with a .571 OPS during their road skid.
“We need to combine hitting and pitching more consistently,” Padres manager Mike Schilt said.
Lindor tied the game with his 19th leadoff home run. His previous home run was against Cease on September 3, 2019. Alonso put the Mets ahead 4-1 with a three-run drive, his 15th home run this season.
New York allowed San Diego to close to 7-6 with a four-run eighth inning when center fielder Harrison Bader’s jump catch led to Luis Campusano’s sacrifice fly and Drew Smith struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. to tie up runners on the corners. did. Better than a 2-run long hit that ties the game. Ha-seong Kim then maintained his position at third base, respecting the arm of right fielder Starling Marte instead of aiming to score on second base on Luis Arez’s hit.
Alonso hit a two-run hit against Jeremiah Estrada in the bottom of the fourth inning and allowed a leadoff home run to Luis Torrance.
JD Martinez went 2-for-3 with two walks and reached base in 10 straight at-bats before striking out in the eighth.
New York has won nine of its last 11 and 11 of its last 15 since Mets players called a postgame team meeting following a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers. At 33-37, they face a path among nine teams that are within two games of one another for the NL’s final two wild-card spots.
“We played great team baseball,” Alonso said. “We can string together a few wins and that’s what we did on the homestand, and hopefully we can continue that on the road.”
San Diego’s Manny Machado and Schilt were ejected for arguing with plate umpire Adam Beck in the sixth inning after the All-Star called his third strike.
“Early check swings don’t go your way, borderline pitches don’t go your way,” Shildt said. “In the end, the scoreboard didn’t show what we wanted. That can add up too. “Yes, there is some frustration there, but the bottom line is we have to be better.”
Jeong (6-6) allowed a season-high seven runs, seven hits, three walks and two base hits in 4 2/3 innings. He sat on the bench and shook his head as he was taken out of the game.
Both teams wore jerseys with light blue ribbons and hats with light blue elements to raise prostate cancer awareness for Father’s Day.
On the 10th anniversary of the death of Padres great Tony Gwynn, Machado put San Diego ahead with an RBI single.
