The Mets jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the fourth inning on two-out RBI base hits by Soto, Marcus Semien and Mark Vientos off Cincinnati starter Nick Lodolo (2-2). They broke it open with four in the fifth, including a two-run double by A.J. Ewing to make it 7-1.
Lodolo allowed seven runs and 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings. It is the fourth time in 83 big-league starts he has given up at least seven earned runs.
