Kodai Senga continued his dominant stretch on the mound, tossing 5.2 scoreless innings despite a few jams. He worked out of trouble in the second and fifth innings, relying on his signature forkball to strike out Nolan Gorman twice in key moments.
Pete Alonso delivered at the plate, driving in two runs, an RBI double in the third and a solo homer in the eighth, his sixth of the year.
Edwin DÃaz closed the door in the ninth with two strikeouts for his fifth save, helping secure the Mets' victory.
With his ERA now at a stingy 0.79, Senga's effort was backed up by stellar defense, including a heads-up play by Brett Baty to cut down a run at the plate.
