Luis Torrens had three hits — including a three-run homer in the second inning — and drove in four runs as the New York Mets defeated the Cleveland Guardians 6-2 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.
Bo Bichette and rookie Carson Benge also went deep for the Mets, who had dropped their last six games against the Guardians. Benge’s 451-foot drive to center field in the eighth was the longest home run at Progressive Field this season.
Sean Manaea (3-5) allowed two runs on seven hits and five walks while striking out seven in six innings. Nate Lavender worked 1 1/3 hitless innings in his major league debut before Kodai Senga, just shifted to a short-relief role, pitched a scoreless ninth.
Jo Adell had two hits in his Cleveland debut after being acquired from the Los Angeles Angels at Monday’s trade deadline. Steven Kwan extended his on-base streak to 21 games.
