Scott allowed a base runner in each of the first three innings but was able to keep San Diego off the board. Fernando Tatis Jr.<\/a> singled in the first, Ty France<\/a> singled in the second, and Rodolfo Dur\u00e1n walked in the third. All three Padres were stranded as Scott appeared to settle in as the game went on.<\/p>\n Scott retired the side in order in the fourth and fifth innings, then ran into a bit of trouble in the sixth. He walked Dur\u00e1n before striking out Tatis Jr. and getting a popout from Gavin Sheets<\/a>. Manny Machado<\/a> singled to center, advancing Dur\u00e1n to third base and ending Scott\u2019s night at 98 pitches. Huascar Brazob\u00e1n entered in relief and struck out France, ending the threat and securing Scott\u2019s shutout appearance. Scott, who is coming off Tommy John surgery, has allowed just one run across his last three starts.<\/p>\n Brazob\u00e1n, Luke Weaver<\/a>, and A.J Minter were solid out of the bullpen for the Mets, combining with Scott for the team\u2019s third shutout win of the season.<\/p>\n Young started things for New York\u2019s offense with a solo home run off San Diego starting pitcher Michael King<\/a> to lead off the second inning. Young worked a full count before hitting King\u2019s center-cut changup 422 feet. That\u2019s Young\u2019s third home run in his last six games.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Mets were back for more in the third inning with multiple extra-base hits and another run scored. Torrens doubled off the wall before advancing to third base on a flyout from Carson Benge. Bo Bichette<\/a> tripled to the right-field corner to score Torrens. Tatis Jr. fumbled the ball in the corner, and Bichette\u2019s good read allowed him to easily get to third. The Mets could have added another run when Juan Soto<\/a> grounded the ball to second baseman Sung-Mun Song, who didn\u2019t field the ball cleanly. Soto put his head down in frustration before realizing Song\u2019s mistake had given him a chance to beat out the throw, score Bichette, and keep the inning going. None of that happened as New York settled for the 2-0 early lead.<\/p>\n New York went up 4-0 with Torrens\u2019 two-run homer in the top of the fifth inning. Brett Baty<\/a> reached on a single before Torrens took King deep to centerfield. The homer was Torrens\u2019 first of the season.<\/p>\n Bichette added a double with two outs in the eighth inning, but Padres reliever David Morgan struck out Soto to strand him. Bichette is showing signs of awakening from his season-long slumber with six hits combined in his last two games. He had six hits in the nine games previous to his current outburst. Soto finished hitless for the 11th time in 46 games played this season.<\/p>\n The Mets tacked on in the ninth inning against San Diego\u2019s closer, Mason Miller<\/a>, who was only in the game to get his first work in a week due to the Padres skid. AJ Ewing knocked a one-out single, then stole second and third base. Baty brought him home with an RBI single.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s game (10:10 PM ET) sets up nicely for New York. The Mets have Nolan McLean<\/a> on the mound going against former Met Griffin Canning<\/a>, who has a 0-4 record and a 7.16 ERA through six appearances this season.<\/p>\n SB Nation GameThreads<\/p>\n Amazin\u2019 Avenue Box scores<\/p>\n MLB.com Win Probability Added
