Mets 5, Padres 0: Scott Sharp Again as Young and Torrens Homer

The lead

June 5, 2026 - New York - Christian Scott threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings, Jared Young and Luis Torrens homered, and the New York Mets shut out the San Diego Padres 5-0, per ESPN's recap.

New York finished with 13 team FP in AthX Engine scoring on a night when the Padres managed only three hits.

How the game turned

Scott continued a strong stretch with nearly six scoreless frames. Young and Torrens provided the power, and the Mets' bullpen finished the combined shutout against a San Diego lineup that had been swept in Philadelphia earlier in the week.

The Padres never scored and never mounted a serious rally. New York's pitching staff looked like the fresher group in the second game of the series.

Pitching and matchup notes

Scott struck out five and walked two in his 5 2/3 scoreless innings. San Diego's starter struggled to keep the Mets off the board after the early homers.

For the Mets, the shutout extended momentum from beating Seattle earlier in the week.

Bats that changed the board

Young and Torrens homered in a low-scoring game where pitching carried most of the fantasy value. AthX Engine graded the Mets at 13 team FP with the staff doing the heavy lifting.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

AthX Engine scoring rewards shutouts even when the offense only produces five runs. Scott's line plus two homers spread value across the roster, separate from dynamic pricing.

What comes next

The Mets and Padres continue the series Saturday at Citi Field, per the MLB schedule.
