Koss supplied the pivotal swing for the Giants. His homer in the third brought Grant McCray home and put San Francisco ahead, while Devers added power at both ends of the game and helped keep the Mets at a distance.
Devers opened the scoring with a homer in the first. A.J. Ewing's homer brought Marcus Semien home and gave New York the lead, but Koss's third-inning homer, with McCray scoring, was the final go-ahead play. Koss homered again in the fifth, and Devers followed with a homer that brought Jonah Cox across. Osleivis Basabe and McCray added later homers, while Brett Baty's ninth-inning double brought Jared Young and Ewing home after a review upheld the call.
Anthony Molina anchored San Francisco with a sharp scoreless start and earned the win. New York's pitching could not contain the Giants' long-ball attack, and the Mets' late push was not enough to erase the margin.
The Giants extended their winning streak, while the Mets continued their slide. The game belonged to the late pressure of San Francisco's power, even as New York kept fighting until the final inning.
