Jeff McNeil lined Tom Cosgrove's first pitch of the 10th over the first base bag for an RBI double, and the visiting New York Mets scored four runs in the inning to earn a 7-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
Starling Marte, who grounded into an inning-ending, bases-loaded double play in the ninth, scored easily on McNeil's double. Catcher Francisco Alvarez singled home McNeil with his fourth single of the game. Francisco Lindor capped the scoring with a two-out, two-run single off Brent Honeywell as the Mets scored a sixth straight win.
The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Padres, who are now 0-8 in extra-inning games this season.Both the Mets' Justin Verlander and the Padres' Yu Darvish struggled at times in what was expected to be a pitchers' duel. Offensively, Daniel Vogelbach and Lindor, who each finished with three hits, carried the early load for the Mets.
But the Padres scored twice in the bottom of the first. Machado hit a two-out RBI double, then scored when Mets third baseman Luis Guillorme booted Xander Bogaerts' grounder. The Padres made 3-1 in the bottom of the second when Gary Sanchez singled, reached second on a groundout to first and scored on Trent Grisham's double.
