Mets 7, Padres 3: Manaea Wins as New York Takes Series

The lead

June 7, 2026 - New York - Sean Manaea worked six innings for the win, the Mets scored seven runs on 13 hits, and the New York Mets beat the San Diego Padres 7-3 to take the weekend series, per ESPN's recap.

New York finished with 14 team FP in AthX Engine scoring.

How the game turned

Manaea (4-2) set the tone with six innings of three-run ball. The Mets' offense built a lead San Diego could not erase despite a productive night from Freddy Fermin, who finished with 10 hitting FP in AthX Engine scoring in the loss.

The Padres managed three runs on seven hits. New York's lineup looked like the fresher group after shutting out San Diego on Friday.

Pitching and matchup notes

Manaea struck out five and walked one in six frames. San Diego's starter allowed multiple runs in a shorter outing.

For the Mets, the series win extended a strong homestand where both the rotation and lineup had clicked.

Bats that changed the board

Fermin's 10 FP night showed how a losing team can still produce fantasy value. The Mets spread offense across the lineup in a 7-3 win that never felt in doubt after the middle innings.

AthX Engine fantasy angle

AthX Engine graded New York at 14 team FP in a series-clinching win. Weekend sweeps built on starter stability register across daily scoring, separate from dynamic pricing.

What comes next

The Mets begin a road trip Monday, per the MLB schedule.
