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.

After Lindor homered from both sides of the plate, 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.
