— Starling Marte homered, tripled and drove in three runs, Brandon Nimmo broke an eighth-inning tie with a two-run shot and theNimmo finished with three RBIs from the leadoff spot and Marte was a double short of the cycle for the NL East leaders, who won their fourth straight and maintained a three-game lead over second-place Atlanta.
In his shortest outing since May 6, Alcantara completed five innings. He allowed four runs and a season-high eight hits in his fourth start against the Mets since June 19.
