The season wasn’t going to end for the Mets if they lost Sunday, but a night like this was sure needed.
Three straight losses were enough, but a season-high fourth — with the Yankees coming to Citi Field for two games in the Subway Series beginning Tuesday — would have left the Mets with an uncomfortable day off.
Pete Alonso blasted a three-run homer as part of a sixth inning in which the Mets scored five times . In the seventh, Alonso just missed another homer — it went for an RBI double that completed his night of reaching base three times. The four RBIs gave Alonso 82 for the season, moving him one ahead of Aaron Judge for the MLB lead.
The Mets weren’t finished in the inning. Luis Guillorme’s bloop single brought in Daniel Vogelbach, after he had walked and advanced to second on a ground out. Tomas Nido followed with an RBI double that gave the Mets a 5-1 lead. Carlos Carrasco delivered five shutout innings, but it wasn’t easy for him: he allowed eight base runners and threw 92 pitches. But the right-hander got the Padres to hit into double plays in the third and fourth innings after escaping a bases-loaded jam in the first. In the second inning, Nido nailed Esteury Ruiz attempting to steal second base, for the third out. Ruiz beat the throw, but slid off the bag as Lindor was applying the tag.
