Overview

  • New York completed a three-game sweep of San Francisco with a 5-3 victory on Sunday, matching its longest winning run of the season.
  • Left-hander Gregory Soto, acquired Friday from Baltimore, retired all three batters he faced in his Mets debut seventh inning.
  • Ace Kodai Senga started on a strict pitch count, allowing three runs over five innings to maintain a 1.79 ERA since returning from a hamstring strain.
  • The sweep vaulted the Mets into a half-game lead over the Phillies atop the NL East as divisional rivals jockey for position.
  • The Giants coped with two rotation absences that led to a bullpen start by Matt Gage and endured an offense held to two runs through the first two games.
