Carson Benge Goes 5-for-5 with a Homer and 2 RBIs as Mets Take Series From Padres

Benge became the first Mets rookie with five hits in a game since Pete Alonso in 2019 as New York won its first series in San Diego since 2018.

  • Rookie Carson Benge went 5-for-5 with a home run and RBI triple on Sunday, leading the New York Mets to a 7-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in the series finale.
  • Marcus Semien and MJ Melendez also homered for the Mets, who finished with 13 hits; Benge's seventh homer traveled an estimated 389 feet in the sixth inning.
  • San Diego starter Randy Vasquez allowed four runs over four-plus innings, taking his third loss, while Sean Manaea earned the win working four innings in bulk relief for New York.
  • Despite Freddy Fermin homering and driving in all three Padres runs, San Diego has now lost 11 of 13 games, managing only 15 hits across the three-game series.
  • The Mets return home Tuesday after finishing their West Coast trip 3-3, with RHP Freddy Peralta facing Cardinals RHP Dustin May in the series opener.
