NEW YORK \u2014 Juan Soto hit a grand slam, Carson Benge launched his first leadoff homer and the New York Mets routed the Miami Marlins 10-1 on Sunday to finish a three-game sweep.<\/p>

Marcus Semien had a two-run homer and Luis Torrens laced a two-run single as the Mets matched a season high with their fourth consecutive victory. New York scored 25 runs in the series after totaling two last weekend while getting swept in three games at Miami.<\/p>\n

Benge, making his 22nd start atop the batting order, became the first Mets rookie to homer leading off a game since Kirk Nieuwenhuis against Tampa Bay on June 14, 2012.<\/p>\n

Semien hit a two-run homer in the second, Torrens added a two-run single with two outs in the fourth and Soto hit his third career slam to cap a five-run sixth as the Mets inched past the Marlins into fourth place in the NL East.<\/p>\n

It was New York\u2019s first grand slam this season.<\/p>\n

Nolan McLean (3-4) allowed one run but walked a career-high five over five laborious innings. The rookie right-hander has a 9.00 ERA with nine walks in his last three starts after opening the season with a 2.92 ERA and 15 walks in his first nine outings.<\/p>\n

David Peterson, demoted to the bullpen this week, gave up one hit in four innings for his first regular-season save in the majors.<\/p>

Owen Caissie had an RBI double in the fourth for the Marlins, who have lost five in a row and finished 11-18 in May.<\/p>\n

John King (1-1) took the loss after giving up two runs in 1 2\/3 innings as an opener for the Marlins, who used seven pitchers after scheduled starter Janson Junk was placed on the injured list with right shin inflammation.<\/p>\n

Third baseman Javier Sanoja pitched a perfect eighth.<\/p>\n

Marlins: Continue a nine-game trip Monday, when RHP Sandy Alcantara (3-4, 4.66 ERA) starts against RHP Cade Cavalli (3-3, 3.62) and the Washington Nationals.<\/p>\n

Mets: Going with a bullpen game Monday night, when New York opens a six-game trip against RHP Emerson Hancock (4-2, 2.78 ERA) and the Seattle Mariners.<\/p>
