SAN DIEGO — Francisco Lindor hit a two-out grand slam in the fourth inning, two batters after Manny Machado committed an error, and added a leadoff shot in the seventh to carry the New York Mets to a 7-1 win against the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.
Harrison Bader also connected for the Mets, who have won two of the first three games in this four-game series between NL playoff contenders.
Lefty David Peterson (8-1) pitched 7 1/3 strong innings as the Mets rebounded nicely from Friday night's 7-0 loss, when they had only two hits, including one during Joe Musgrove's seven brilliant innings.
