In the game, he went 0-3, with one run scored, one walk, and one strikeout, fulfilling his role at the top of the offensive order.\n\nThe Mets&#8217; attack was defined in the sixth inning, when Carson Benge hit a home run to break the dominance of Japanese starter Tomoyuki Sugano. From there, the New York team strung together four consecutive hits, with Soto negotiating a walk to maintain the pressure in a four-run inning.\n\nFrom the mound, David Peterson was credited with the victory after a solid four-inning performance, while the bullpen completed the shutout. Craig Kimbrel and Devin Williams handled the relief, with the latter signing a perfect ninth for his fourth save of the season.\n\nThe manager&#8217;s move paid off, on a night when the Mets found offensive answers and pitching solidity to prevail with authority.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SANTO DOMINGO. \u2014 The New York Mets bet on an unusual lineup and responded with a 4-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies, in a game brought forward due to the threat of rain.
