NEW YORK (AP) — Rookie Ryan Schimpf hit a grand slam and added a two-run shot in San Diego's victory over New York.
Jabari Blash and Christian Bethancourt also homered early to help the Padres hand the Mets their fourth straight loss and sixth in seven games. The defending NL champions (57-58) fell below .500 for the first time since April 17.
One day after getting swept at home by last-place Arizona, the Mets again failed to look like legitimate wild-card contenders. San Diego, which has alternated wins and losses since July 26, jumped out to a 5-0 six batters into the game — including Schimpf's grand slam. Logan Verrett (3-8) was the loser.
