NEW YORK—Pete Alonso had a season-high five RBIs, combining with Francisco Lindor on first-inning home runs that built a three-run lead against Dylan Cease after just 16 pitches, and the surging New York Mets beat the San Diego Padres 11–6 Sunday for their fifth straight win.

Tylor Megill (2–3) allowed two runs on five hits over five innings as the Mets opened a 7–1 lead and held on to sweep San Diego for the first time since 2006.
