Manaea perfect for 5 innings, Lindor and Soto homer as the Mets beat the

MIAMI (AP) --- Sean Manaea retired his first 15 batters, Francisco Lindor and
Juan Soto homered early and the New York Mets beat the Miami Marlins 7-5 on
Tuesday night.
Brett Baty also went deep and drove in two runs for the Mets, who have won
three straight games and five of six to climb out of the NL East cellar. Lindor
connected on Sandy Alcantara's first pitch and Soto added a three-run shot in
the second as New York built a 7-0 lead through five innings before holding on.
Manaea's bid for his second career no-hitter and the 25th perfect game in major
league history ended when Jakob Marsee opened the sixth with a bloop single
over third base. The left-hander gave up five consecutive hits to start the
inning and never got another out.
Manaea (5-7) allowed consecutive RBI doubles to Jared Serna and Brian Navarreto
and a run-scoring single to Otto Lopez that cut New York's lead to 7-3 before
being replaced by Jonathan Pintaro.
After a double play, Javier Sanoja made it 7-4 with an RBI single.
Manaea threw 61 pitches, 45 for strikes. He struck out four and walked none.
Miami still trailed 7-4 in the ninth before Joe Mack hit a one-out double off
closer Kodai Senga and scored on Marsee's double. Senga then struck out
pinch-hitter Owen Caissie and Kyle Stowers for his seventh save.
Marsee had three hits and Serna doubled twice for the Marlins, who outhit New
York 10-8. Sanoja stretched his hitting streak to a career-best nine games.
Alcantara (13-10) allowed seven runs on seven hits and four walks in 4 1/3
innings.
Lindor drove the first pitch of the game 405 feet to right-center for a 1-0
lead. Alcantara walked the next two batters and allowed a run-scoring single to
Jared Young that put New York ahead 2-0.
Soto hit a 417-foot drive --- his 24th homer of the season --- to make it 5-0
in the second.
Alcantara and Eury Prez, who started Monday for Miami, allowed a combined 14
runs to their NL East rivals over the first two games of the series.
