The New York Mets decisively defeated the Miami Marlins 10-1 on Sunday, completing a three-game sweep. Juan Soto hit a grand slam, and Carson Benge launched his first career leadoff homer, contributing to the Mets' season-high fourth consecutive win.
Marcus Semien added a two-run homer, and Luis Torrens delivered a two-run single. The Mets offense rebounded significantly, scoring 25 runs in this series after being swept in Miami the prior weekend. Nolan McLean, despite a career-high five walks, allowed only one run over five innings for the Marlins.
David Peterson, recently moved to the bullpen, pitched four scoreless innings for his first major league save. The Marlins, who have lost five straight, struggled offensively, with only Owen Caissie managing an RBI double. John King took the loss for Miami, which used seven pitchers due to injuries.
The Marlins are set to continue their road trip against the Washington Nationals, while the Mets will begin a six-game trip against the Seattle Mariners.
