Mets complete sweep of Marlins as Juan Soto hits grand slam
The New York Mets defeated the Miami Marlins 10‑1 on Sunday, completing a three‑game series sweep and extending their winning streak to four games. Juan Soto delivered his third career grand slam, capping a six‑run sixth inning. Rookie catcher Carson Benge opened the game with a first‑career leadoff homer, the first Mets rookie to do so since Kirk Nieuwenhuis in 2012. Marcus Semien added a two‑run homer and Luis Torrens contributed a two‑run single, helping the Mets match their season‑best of four consecutive wins. The Mets scored 25 runs in the three‑game series after posting only two runs in the previous weekend’s loss in Miami. The victory moved New York to fourth place in the National League East. Pitcher Nolan McLean allowed one run while issuing a career‑high five walks over five innings. Reliever David Peterson earned his first save of the season after allowing just one hit in four innings. The sweep marked the first grand slam by a Mets player this season and highlighted the team’s offensive resurgence after a recent three‑game losing streak.
