CLEVELAND (Interstat) — Luis Torrens hit a three-run homer and drove in four runs, and Sean Manaea pitched six solid innings as the N.Y. Mets beat the Cleveland Guardians 6-2 on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.

Torrens finished 3 for 3 for the Mets, who had lost three straight to Miami before this interleague win. His three-run blast in the second inning put the Mets ahead for good, and his RBI single in the fourth extended the lead. Bo Bichette and Carson Benge also homered for New York.

Manaea (3-5) scattered seven hits over six innings, allowing two earned runs while striking out seven. He threw 77 pitches, working around traffic in the early innings. Nate Lavender, Kodai Senga and Daniel Duarte combined for three scoreless relief innings, with Duarte recording the final two outs in the ninth after a walk to Jo Adell.

Joey Cantillo (8-7) took the loss for Cleveland, allowing five runs over five innings, though only two were earned. The Guardians committed a costly error in the second inning that led to the decisive rally. Slade Cecconi pitched 2 2/3 innings in relief, striking out four, and Tim Herrin added 1 1/3 scoreless innings.

The Mets took the lead in the top of the second against Cantillo. With two outs, Marcus Semien reached on a throwing error by third baseman Gabriel Arias. Jared Young walked, and Torrens followed by driving a 1-0 pitch to right-center field for his third home run of the season, making it 3-0. The three runs were unearned because of the error.

Bichette led off the third with his 11th homer, a fly ball to left-center, to stretch the lead to 4-0. Cleveland answered in the bottom of the inning. Jo Adell doubled, Chase DeLauter walked, and Angel Martinez doubled to left, scoring Adell and sending DeLauter to third. But Manaea stranded the runners with two strikeouts and a popout.

In the fourth, the Mets manufactured another run. Semien walked, advanced on a groundout by Young, and scored on Torrens’s line-drive single to center, making it 5-1. The Mets had a chance for more later in the inning but Francisco Lindor and Bichette flied out to right.

Cleveland got closer in the fifth. DeLauter singled, and after a flyout, Martinez walked. Travis Bazzana singled to center, scoring DeLauter and trimming the lead to 5-2. But Manaea struck out Arias to end the threat.

The Mets added another run in the eighth off Herrin. Benge, the hitter, homered to center for his 12th of the season, making it 6-2. Herrin retired the next three hitters, but the damage was done.

Cleveland’s final scoring chance came in the seventh after an error by Lindor put Adell on base. DeLauter walked, but Nathaniel Lowe lined out, Martinez lined out to left, and Bazzana struck out looking to end the inning.

In the eighth, the Guardians put a runner on with a walk to Austin Hedges, but Brayan Rocchio grounded into a double play to erase him. It was Cleveland’s second double play of the game. The Mets also grounded into one double play in the top of the fifth.

The Mets finished with nine hits and the Guardians with seven. Neither team had an extra-base hit after the fifth inning. Torrens, Bichette and Benge combined for six hits and six RBIs.

Manaea worked out of a first-inning jam after Steven Kwan was hit by a pitch and Jo Adell singled. Chase DeLauter walked to load the bases with one out, but Manaea struck out Rhys Hoskins and Angel Martinez to escape.

The Mets took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the first but saw the Guardians put runners on in each of the first three innings. Cleveland left six runners on base overall.

For the Mets, the win snapped a three-game skid and gave them just their second victory in their last nine games. Cleveland, meanwhile, fell back to .500 at 57-57 after a 5-0 win over Arizona on Sunday.

Torrens’s breakout came after a rough week. He was hitless in three of his previous four games, including an 0-for-3 performance against Miami on Saturday. He also had an RBI single against Atlanta on July 27.

The series continues Wednesday and Thursday at Progressive Field, with both games scheduled for 6:10 p.m. local time. After that, the Mets travel to Pittsburgh for a three-game weekend series, while Cleveland heads to Chicago to face the White Sox.

Attendance was announced at 24,636, and the game lasted 2 hours, 31 minutes.
