SAN DIEGO (CBSNewYork/AP) — Marcus Stroman won his second straight decision after four consecutive losses and doubled in a run, pitching the New York Mets over the San Diego Padres 6-2 on Sunday for a four-game split.
Stroman (5-4) gave up an unearned run and four hits in 6 2/3 innings with seven strikeouts and four walks, his most since Sept. 12, 2019. He hit an RBI double down the left-field line in the seventh inning, scoring José Peraza from first for a 4-1 lead.
San Diego loaded the bases in the fourth when Webster Rivas hit a sharp grounder to third baseman Brandon Drury, who grabbed the ball while on his knee, tagged third and threw to first for an inning-ending double play.
