MIAMI (AP) — Sean Manaea retired his first 15 batters, Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto homered early and the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 7-5 on Tuesday night. Brett Baty also went deep for the Mets, who have won three straight games and five of six as they attempt to climb out of last p lace in the NL East. Lindor connected on Sandy Alcantara’s first pitch and Soto added a three-run shot in the second as New York built a 7-0 lead through five innings before holding on. Manaea’s bid for his second career no-hitter and the 25th perfect game in major league history ended when Jakob Marsee opened the sixth with a bloop single over third base. The left-hander gave up five consecutive hits to start the inning and never got another out. Manaea (5-7) allowed consecutive RBI doubles to Jared Serna and Brian Navarreto and a run-scoring single to Otto Lopez that cut New York’s lead to 7-3 before being replaced by Jonathan Pintaro. After a double play, Javier Sanoja made it 7-4 with an RBI single. Manaea threw 61 pitches, 45 for strikes. He struck out four and walked none. Miami still trailed 7-4 in the ninth before Joe Mack hit a one-out double off closer Kodai Senga and scored on Marsee’s double. Senga then struck out pinch-hitter Owen Caissie and Kyle Stowers for his seventh save. Marsee had three hits and Serna doubled twice for the Marlins, who outhit New York 10-8. Sanoja stretched his hitting streak to a career-best nine games. Alcantara (13-10) allowed seven runs on seven hits and four walks in 4 1/3 innings. Lindor drove the first pitch of the game 405 feet to right-center for a 1-0 lead. Alcantara walked the next two batters and allowed a run-scoring single to Jared Young that put New York ahead 2-0. Soto hit a 417-foot drive — his 24th homer of the season — to make it 5-0 in the second. Alcantara and Eury Pérez, who started Monday for Miami, allowed a combined 14 runs to their NL East rivals over the first two games of the series. Up next Mets RHP Robert Stock (1-3, 5.81 ERA) will start Wednesday’s series finale against RHP Janson Junk (6-9, 4.00). ...read more read less
