Manaea perfect for 5 innings, Lindor and Soto homer as the Mets beat the Marlins 7-5

Sean Manaea retired the first 15 batters he faced, but the New York Mets ultimately defeated the Miami Marlins 7-5. Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto hit early home runs, helping the Mets build a 7-0 lead by the fifth inning. Manaea’s attempt at a perfect game ended in the sixth when Jakob Marsee hit a single. Manaea allowed five consecutive hits and was replaced after giving up three runs. Despite a late rally by Miami, Mets closer Kodai Senga secured the win with his seventh save. The Mets have now won three straight games and five of their last six, moving up in the NL East standings. Miami’s Sandy Alcantara struggled, allowing seven runs in just over four innings. The series concludes with Mets’ Robert Stock facing Marlins’ Janson Junk. QUESTION: How might the Mets’ recent winning streak impact their confidence and performance in the remainder of the season?
