"Carried by Brandon Nimmo's three-run home run as a part of a four-run third inning, and Jonah Tong's bounceback gem, the Mets took their first series since winning two of three from the Detroit Tigers from Sept. 1-3 by defeating the San Diego Padres 6-1 in Thursday afternoon's rubber game at Citi Field. Pete Alonso homered in a fourth consecutive game and drove in a pair of runs, while Juan Soto went 2-for-4 and drove in his 100th run of the season in the win."
"Tong, who allowed six runs in just two-thirds of an inning on Friday night against the Texas Rangers, befuddled Padres hitters for five innings, yielding just one run on four hits with eight strikeouts on 82 pitches. His lone blemish was self-inflicted after allowing a lead-off single to Fernando Tatis Jr. in the third. An errant throw on a pick-off moved the Padres star to second, then a wild pitch moved him to third."
Brandon Nimmo hit a three-run home run during a four-run third inning that powered the Mets to a 6-1 win over the San Diego Padres at Citi Field. Jonah Tong rebounded from a rough outing to pitch five effective innings, allowing one run on four hits with eight strikeouts on 82 pitches. Pete Alonso homered in a fourth consecutive game and drove in two runs. Juan Soto went 2-for-4 and recorded his 100th RBI of the season. Luis Arraez provided a sacrifice fly that tied the game before the Mets pulled away in the third inning. The victory increased the Mets' lead for the third NL Wild Card spot to two games over Arizona.
