The Met offense got off to a fast start in the bottom of the first after RF Juan Soto reached on an error by two outs and then 1B Pete Alonso followed with a two-run homer.
After a scoreless bottom of the second, SS Francisco Lindor led off the top of the third with a single and then 3B Mark Vientos reached on an infield single and Lindor reached third on an error.
RF Juan Soto followed with a RBI ground-out.
RHP Kodai Senga had a rocky start in the top of the first after he gave up a lead-off homer to DH Shohei Ohtani and then SS Mookie Betts reached on an error by 3B Mark Vientos.
Senga then gave up a double to 1B Freddie Freeman, but was helped out by his defense after CF Tyrone Taylor made an remarkable throw on a fly-out by catcher Will Smith to throw Betts out at home.
Senga then struck out RF Teoscar Hernandez to end the inning.
Senga was able to settle down after that with 1-2-3 innings in the top of the second and third, and got a key double play in the top of the fourth and worked around a double and walk.
He worked out of a based loaded jam in the top of the fifth after catcher Will Smith grounded out to third with two outs.
Senga struck out Hernandez to start off the top of the sixth and walked 3B Max Muncy and was then taken out.
Senga's final line was 5.1 innings, five hits, one run, four walks and five strikeouts.
He picked up his fifth win and lowered his ERA to 1.46.
RHP Ryne Stanek came in next and got CF Andy Pages to ground into a double play.
RHP Max Kranick followed with two scoreless innings in the top of the seventh and eighth.
RHP Reed Garrett closed it out with a scoreless top of the ninth to pick up his first save.
The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Monday, May, 26 at home against the Chicago White Sox at 4:10 p.m.
