Eduardo Escobar had singled, doubled and homered when he came to the plate in the ninth inning for one final at-bat Monday night.
Facing lefty Tim Hill, he quickly fell behind in the count before slicing a shot to right field. The ball eluded Nomar Mazara’s outstretched glove and Escobar kept running. Triple.
The Mets won their third straight and improved to 3-2 on the West Coast trip. They jumped on lefty Blake Snell early and never relented in moving a season-high 19 games above .500. Eduardo Escobar crushes a two-run homer in the eighth inning.Escobar’s two-run homer in the eighth against Craig Stammen buried the Padres in a 7-2 hole. He returned in the ninth for the knockout punch after the Padres had sliced the lead to two runs.
On both counts, the veteran right-hander delivered. Carrasco’s performance, in which he allowed two earned runs on five hits and struck out 10 over 105 pitches, was his third this season of at least seven innings. Entering the day only seven other pitchers this season had multiple starts of at least seven innings.
Starling Marte started the rally with a single and stolen base. After Lindor struck out for the second out, Snell, the 2017 AL Cy Young Award winner with the Rays, walked Alonso, Mark Canha and Davis in succession. By the time he retired Jeff McNeil to conclude the inning, Snell had thrown 43 pitches.
