Juan Soto threw out Nick Castellanos at the plate to prevent the go-ahead run in the eighth inning, Starling Marte capped a two-run 10th with a walk-off single and the New York Mets beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep that extended their winning streak to seven.

The MLB-best Mets (18-7) are 12-1 at Citi Field this season and now have a five-game lead over their NL East rival Phillies.

With the game tied 2-2, Castellanos tried to score from second on Max Kepler’s two-out single to right. Soto made a one-hop throw to rookie catcher Hayden Senger that was slightly to the first-base side. Senger snagged the ball, lunged across the plate and tagged Castellanos, who slid feet first.

Castellanos hit a go-ahead single in the 10th off Edwin Díaz, who left with a left hip cramp. Max Kranick (2-0) escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam by retiring Alec Bohm and Kepler.

Automatic runner Francisco Lindor advanced to third on Soto’s groundout off Jordan Romano (0-1) starting the bottom half and Pete Alonso doubled for his NL-best 26th RBI.

Brandon Nimmo was intentionally walked, Mark Vientos struck out and Marte singled into short center.

Tigers 6, Padres 0: Reese Olson allowed two hits in 7 1/3 scoreless innings as Detroit defeated visiting San Diego.

Olson gave up two singles — both to former Tiger Jose Iglesias — and walked one while striking out seven.

Kyle Hart (2-2) allowed two runs on five hits and a walk. He struck out six for San Diego, which has gone 3-5 after a 14-3 start.

Iglesias led off the third with a single, but Olson retired the next 16 hitters until Oscar Gonzalez walked with one out in the eighth. Iglesias followed with his second hit of the game.

Giants 4, Brewers 2: Wilmer Flores hit a two-run single in a four-run sixth to back an- other strong start by Logan Webb, and San Francisco beat visiting Milwaukee.

Jung Hoo Lee added three hits to help the Giants improve to 14-2 against right-handed starters this season.

Yankees 5, Guardians 1: Carlos Rodón pitched seven strong innings, Paul Goldschmidt drove in two runs and Aaron Judge raised his major league-leading average to .415 as New York won at Cleveland to avoid a series sweep.

The Guardians saw their winning streak stopped at five and fell to 7-2 at home.

Judge, who went 2 for 4, tripled off the wall in deep center field in the first inning to score Ben Rice from first. The Yankees added another run on Goldschmidt’s RBI double off Luis Ortiz (2-3).

Gusto (3-1) allowed one run on three hits with six strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. He has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his three starts this season.

George Springer hit an RBI double in the fourth for the Blue Jays who have lost five straight games.

Reds 5, Marlins 2: Austin Wynns homered, doubled and singled, Brady Singer struck out eight in six strong innings and Cincinnati won at Miami.

Wynns hit a solo shot off Sandy Alcántara (2-2) in the third. The catcher has nine hits in his last 11 plate appearances, including two homers. He was a triple shy of the cycle after driving in a run with a double in the ninth.

Singer (4-0), making his fifth start for Cincinnati, gave up a two-run homer to Matt Mervis in the first but allowed little else. His eight strikeouts matched a season high, and he allowed only four hits and no walks.

SEAGER GOES ON IL

The Texas Rangers placed five-time All-Star shortstop Corey Seager on the 10-day injured list because of a strained right hamstring.

The 30-year-old Seager pulled up while running to first base in the sixth inning Tuesday against the Athletics and left the game.
