The Met offense on the board immediately in the top of the first after SS Francisco Lindor and 2B Jeff McNeil singled with one out and then Lindor advanced to third.
Lindor was then able to score after McNeil stole second which caused catcher Andrew Knizner made a poor throw.
After a scoreless top of the second, Lindor doubled with two outs in the top of the third and then McNeil followed with a RBI double.
In the top of the fourth, RF D.J. Stewart continued his torrid stretch with a solo homer, his 5th homer in 54-bats since being called up by the Mets..
In the top of the fifth, CF Brandon Nimmo walked with one out and then Lindor followed with a single.
Two batters later, 1B Pete Alonso walked to load the bases and then DH Daniel Vogelbach came up and broke the game open with a grand slam.
In the top of the seventh, McNeil singled with one out and then Alonso followed with a towering two-run homer to deep center field.
In the top of the eighth, Stewart walked with one out and then 3B Danny Mendick followed with a single.
PH Tim Locastro then walked to load the bases and Lindor came up and capped off his stellar night at the plate with a bases clearing single for his fourth hit of the game.
In the top of the ninth, Stewart hit a RBI single for his second RBI of the game.
RHP Kodai Senga had another terrific outing allowing one run in two hits in seven innings.
Senga gave up two walks with five strikeouts.

Senga picked up his 10th win.
RHP Vinny Nittoli came on in the bottom of the eighth and gave up a RBI infield hit to 2B Tommy Edman.
Nittoli stayed in for the bottom of the ninth and closed it out with a scoreless inning.
