The Met offense got off to a fast start in the bottom of the first after SS Francisco Lindor led off with a single and then LF Brandon Nimmo singled and RF Juan Soto walked to load the bases.
1B Pete Alonso then struck out, but then 3B Brett Baty drove in Lindor, Nimmo, and Soto with a based clearing triple.
Two batters later, CF Tyrone Taylor drove in Baty with a RBI single.
After a scoreless innings in the bottom of the second and third, 2B Jeff McNeil led off in the bottom of the fourth and reached on an error by 2B Thairo Estrada and two batters later, Lindor singled.
Nimmo followed with a two-run homer and then Soto followed with a homer on the next pitch.
The Met offense was held scoreless for the next three innings until the bottom of the eighth after McNeil hit a solo homer.
RHP Kodai Senga gave up a one-out solo homer to SS Ezequiel Tovar in the top of the first, but also had three strikeouts in the inning.
Senga settled down after that and cruised for the next six innings and at one point, retired the next 17 hitters he faced, but then tired out in the top of the seventh.
Senga walked Tovar to lead off the inning and two batters later, walked 3B Ryan McMahon and then gave up a RBI single to Estrada and was then taken out.
RHP Jose Butto came in and picked up the last two outs to end the inning.
Senga's final line was 6.1 innings, two hits, two runs, two walks and seven strikeouts.
He picked up his sixth win and has now pitched 28 consecutive starts allowed three runs or fewer.
Butto stayed in for the top of the top of the eighth and threw a scoreless inning.
RHP Chris Devenski closed it out with a scoreless top of the ninth.
The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, June 1 at home against the Rockies at 1:40 p.m.
