Pete Alonso had a season-high five RBIs, combining with Francisco Lindor on first-inning home runs that built a three-run lead against Dylan Cease after 16 pitches, and the surging New York Mets beat the San Diego Padres 11-6 Sunday for their fifth straight win.
“We’ve got to start to marry our hitting and our pitching more consistently,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said. New York has won nine of its past 11 and 11 of 15 since a three-game sweep by the Los Angeles Dodgers prompted Mets players to call a postgame team meeting. At 33-37, they head on the road among nine teams bunched within two games for the NL’s last two wild-card spots.
"Checked swing early doesn't go your way, borderline pitch doesn't go your way," Shildt said. “We haven’t had the results we want at the end of the day on the scoreboard. That can add up, as well. So, yeah, there’s some frustration there, but bottom line is we got to be better."
