SAN DIEGO (AP) --- Carson Benge went 5 for 5 with a home run and an RBI triple,
leading the New York Mets to a 7-3 victory Sunday over the struggling San Diego
Padres.
Marcus Semien and MJ Melendez also homered for the last-place Mets, who took
two of three games from the Padres to win a series in San Diego for the first
time since 2018. Sean Manaea (1-1) allowed two runs over four innings in bulk
relief as New York finished 3-3 on its West Coast trip.
Freddy Fermin homered and drove in all three runs for the Padres, who have lost
11 of 13. The catcher was hitless in his previous 30 at-bats before connecting
for his first homer this season Saturday night, a two-run shot in the seventh
inning of a 3-2 win that stopped San Diego's six-game losing streak.
Batting leadoff, Benge scored three times and became the fourth Mets rookie
with five hits and a homer in one game. Francisco Lindor was the previous New
York player to get five hits in a game when he went 5 for 5 with a homer and
two triples in a 9-0 victory at Arizona on July 6, 2023.
