After a scoreless top of the first, in the top of the second, 1B Mark Vientos singled with one out, LF Jared Young followed with a walk and then 2B Marcus Semian reached first on an infield single to load the bases.
CF Carson Benge came up next and hit a grounder to 3B Matt Chapman who fumbled the ball made a poor throwing error to 1B Jerar Encarcion was not able to handle and the ball went past him which allowed two runs to score.
Catcher Luis Torrens followed with a RBI ground-out to score Semian.
The Met offense was held scoreless for the next two innings until the top of the fifth after Torrens led off with a single and after a ground-out by SS Francisco Lindor, 3B Bo Bichette drove in Torrens with a RBI single.
DH Jorge Polanco then struck out, but RF Brett Baty followed with a single and then Vientos drove in Bichette with a RBI single.
Pinch-hitter Tyrone Taylor came up next to replace Jared Young and then Taylor broke the game open with a three-run homer.
In the top of the seventh, Baty led off with a double and two batters later, Taylor capped off his terrific night at the plate with a RBI single to score Baty for his fourth RBI of the game.
RHP Clay Holmes had a fantastic start with seven scoreless innings allowing three hits and two walks with four strikeouts. Holmes was able to mow down the Giants hitters with his nasty sinker to keep the ball down which resulted in 11 groundouts.
He picked up his second win and lowered his ERA to 1.42.
RHP Tobias Myers followed and closed it out with two dominant innings of his own in the bottom of the eighth and ninth to maintain his excellent start out of the bullpen.
The Mets next game is tomorrow afternoon, Sunday, April 5 at the Giants at 4:05 p.m.
