The Mets nearly rallied to tie it in the top of the ninth off closer Raisel Iglesias after Juan Soto's one-out RBI single scored Cedric Mullins and moved Francisco Lindor into scoring position, but pop-outs by Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil snuffed out the comeback. They are now 0-53 this season when trailing after eight innings. The result ensures the Mets' (69-61) drought without a sweep continues, the last coming from July 25-27 in San Francisco against the Giants.
David Peterson went 5.2 innings, allowing two runs on five hits with eight strikeouts and four walks.
