SAN FRANCISCO(AP) \u2014 Clay Holmes and Tobias Myers combined on a three-hitter and the New York Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 9-0 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Holmes (2-0) matched his career high with seven innings and allowed only one runner past first base. The right-hander gave up three hits and had four strikeouts with two walks.<\/p>\n
Myers retired the final six batters in order for the Mets\u2019 first shutout of the season.<\/p>\n
Mark Vientos had three hits, and Tyrone Taylor hit a pinch three-run homer and drove in four runs. Marcus Semien, Bo Bichette and Brett Baty each had two hits.<\/p>\n
Matt Chapman, Jung Hoo Lee and Jerar Encarnacion each had singles for the Giants. <\/p>\n
San Francisco dropped to 1-5 at home this season.<\/p>\n
The Mets got to starter Landen Roupp (1-1) early with some help from San Francisco\u2019s defense. After Giants shortstop Willy Adames\u2019 throw on Semien\u2019s infield single pulled first baseman Jerar Encarnacion off the bag, third baseman Chapman made a throwing error that allowed one run to score. Luis Torrens added an RBI groundout to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n
New York broke the game open with a five-run fifth. Bichette and Vientos each had RBI singles before Taylor\u2019s three-run home run off Ryan Borucki.<\/p>\n
