Juan Soto carried the Mets' offense with a three-run homer in the second, while Brett Baty added power of his own and later brought Jared Young home with a sacrifice fly.

Francisco Lindor homered in the first to put the Mets ahead. Jared Young's single brought Juan Soto home, and Soto's homer then brought Francisco Alvarez and Lindor across the plate. Brett Baty homered in the third before his sacrifice fly extended the lead in the fifth.

Sandy Alcantara took the loss after the Mets broke through early. Miami answered with a rally in the sixth, as Jared Serna, Brian Navarreto, Otto Lopez and Javier Sanoja each produced a scoring play, but the Mets' bullpen kept the margin intact until the ninth. Jakob Marsee's double brought Joe Mack home late, but Kodai Senga closed the game.

New York extended its winning streak, while Miami's losing streak continued. The game belonged to the Mets' early burst, even as the Marlins made the finish uncomfortable.
