The Met offense got off to a fast start in the top of the first after SS Francisco Lindor led off with a walk and advanced to second on a wild pitch.
Two batters later, 1B Pete Alonso drove in Lindor with a RBI double.
After a scoreless top of the second, Alonso came through once again in the top of the third with a solo homer.
The offense was held scoreless for the next two innings until the top of the sixth after Alonso led off with a walk and advanced to second on a balk.
Three batters later, 2B Jeff McNeil drove in Alonso with a RBI double for a much needed insurance run.
In the top of the ninth, catcher Francisco Alvarez led off with a single and two batters later, CF Tyrone Taylor singled.
Lindor then drove in Alvarez with a RBI single and RF Juan Soto followed with a based loaded walk to bring in another run.
RHP Clay Holmes had an outstanding start in his final start of the season.
Holmes threw six scoreless innings allowing one hit and three walks with two strikeouts.
The only one hit he allowed was a single by 2B Xavier Edwards in the bottom of the fourth.
His sinker was his most dominant pitch as he was able to get 11 out of the 18 hitters he recorded.
It was the first time he has gone six innings since August 23th and the only the second time since June 7th.
Holmes finished up with 12 wins and an ERA of 3.53 which is the top 10 of the National League.
LHP Brooks Raley followed with a scoreless bottom of the seventh.
RHP Trevor Rogers came in next and threw a scoreless bottom of the eighth.
RHP Edwin Diaz closed it out with a scoreless bottom of the ninth.
The Mets final game of the regular season is tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, September 28 at the Marlins at 3:05 p.m.
