The Mets broke their four-game losing streak with a 12-6 victory over the Giants, scoring 13 hits in the game. Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo led with multiple RBIs, while Pete Alonso hit his 250th career home run. Despite struggling in a four-inning start, Kodai Senga allowed only four runs. The bullpen's four scoreless innings helped secure the win. This victory propelled the Mets to first place in the NL East, ahead of the Phillies after their loss.
Francisco Lindor went 3-for-4 with four RBIs, Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-4 with three RBI singles and Pete Alonso (2-for-4) hit his 250th career homer, a three-run blast in the first inning that opened the scoring and moved him within two of Darryl Strawberry for the franchise's all-time home run record.
Senga loaded the bases with no outs in the second but the Giants (55-56) mustered only one run, coming on a double-play groundout.
The Mets' bullpen pitched four scoreless innings after Senga exited. Reed Garrett followed Senga with a perfect 1 1/3 innings, and Gregory Soto struck out two batters in a scoreless sixth.
The Mets (63-48) jumped a half-game in front of the Phillies - who lost to Detroit, 7-5 - for first place in the NL East.
