Francisco Lindor homered in the third, Brandon Nimmo added a two-run single in the fourth and Juan Soto drove in two runs as New York backed Clay Holmes, and the Mets beat the San Francisco Giants 8-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight win.

Logan Webb took the mound at Oracle Park on a frigid Friday night with an opportunity to spell the relievers, to keep them rested for the looming tasks at hand. Specifically, the bullpen’s multi-inning relievers. He has proven himself capable, more often than not, of pitching deep into ballgames.

Clay Holmes limited the Giants to one run in five innings in a duel of All-Stars against Logan Webb, sending the Mets to their fifth straight win.

The Mets have been chosen as underdogs in 29 games this year and have walked away with the win 11 times (37.9%) in those games.
