NEW YORK (Interstat) — Juan Soto’s grand slam in the sixth inning Sunday propelled the New York Mets to a 10-1 victory over the Miami Marlins at Citi Field, completing a three-game sweep in front of 40,634 fans.

The game, which lasted 2 hours, 56 minutes, saw the Mets improve to 26-33, while the Marlins fell to 26-34.

Nolan McLean earned the win, allowing one earned run on two hits over five innings with two strikeouts. The start was a sharp rebound for McLean, who had allowed 13 earned runs over nine combined innings in his previous two outings against Cincinnati and Washington.

David Peterson earned his first save of the season, working four scoreless innings of one-hit ball with three strikeouts.

For Miami, John King took the loss, surrendering three runs on two hits in 1 2/3 innings.

The Mets struck first in the bottom of the first when Carson Benge led off with a solo home run to center field, his fourth of the season. Miami tied it in the top of the fourth. Javier Sanoja walked, moved to second on a walk to Jakob Marsee, advanced to third on a flyout by Connor Norby and scored on Owen Caissie’s double to left.

New York answered immediately in the bottom half. After back-to-back strikeouts to open the frame, A.J. Ewing walked, Brett Baty singled, and Marcus Semien walked to load the bases. Luis Torrens then delivered a two-run single to right, scoring Ewing and Baty to put the Mets ahead 5-1.

The game’s decisive moment came in the sixth. With the Mets leading 5-1, Marcus Semien walked and Luis Torrens was hit by a pitch. Carson Benge walked to load the bases, and Bo Bichette walked to force in a run, extending the lead to 6-1. Soto followed with a grand slam to right-center, his 13th home run of the season, clearing the bases and stretching the margin to 10-1.

The Marlins mounted little offense after that. Miami managed only three hits in the game, including Caissie’s RBI double and a seventh-inning double by Kyle Stowers. The Marlins left five runners on base.

Soto finished 2 for 4 with four RBIs, while Semien went 2 for 2 with a two-run home run in the second inning that gave the Mets a 3-1 lead. Torrens also had two hits, driving in two runs. Benge added a solo homer.
