Jose Quintana’s second straight superb start, combined with five home runs by the Mets, turned this one into an early runaway.
There was plenty for the Mets to like, including contributions from all four of their heralded rookies — Francisco Alvarez, Mark Vientos, Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio — who were together in the starting lineup for the first time. Brandon Nimmo also continued his career-year in power production with a two-homer game.
Alvarez has had the ultimate mixed-results season. The rookie catcher entered Tuesday with a .211/.285/.426 slash line, 21 homers and 48 RBIs in 104 games. His home run was his first since Aug. 1. Nimmo and Francisco Lindor singled in succession to begin the game. Following Jeff McNeil’s sacrifice bunt, Pete Alonso’s sacrifice fly gave the Mets a 1-0 lead. After Vientos was plunked, Alvarez homered.
