In the bottom of the fourth, 1B Pete Alonso led off with a walk and then 2B Jeff McNeil followed with a hit by pitch.
Catcher Francisco Alvarez followed with a RBI single and then DH Daniel Vogelbach walked.

RHP Justin Verlander had an outstanding outing allowing one run on three hits in eight innings and the only run coming on a solo homer by CF Luis Robert Jr in the top of the seventh.
