Marte's 3
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Starling Marte hit a go-ahead, three-run homer in the sixth and first baseman Pete Alonso made a spectacular rally-killing play in the bottom of the inning for the New York Mets, who beat the struggling Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 Saturday to extend their winning streak to six games.
The Mets won their fifth straight series and have gone 12-3 after an 0-5 start.
“The energy is what stands out. It’s the energy and how we’re playing for each other,” Marte said through an interpreter. “We’re all supporting each other and having each other’s back and we’re playing really good baseball.”
The Dodgers’ struggles at the plate continued as they lost for the seventh time in nine games. They went 2 for 12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 13. They’ve lost three straight series for the first time since June, and three straight series at home for the first time since August 2018.
