SAN FRANCISCO — \u2014 Francisco Alvarez<\/a> homered twice and rookie Nolan McLean<\/a> retired his first 15 batters as the New York Mets<\/a> snapped a three-game skid Friday night with a 10-3 rout of the San Francisco Giants<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bo Bichette<\/a> and Marcus Semien<\/a> each had three of New York’s season-high 15 hits after the Mets totaled only three runs in their previous three games. Mark Vientos<\/a> reached base safely four times, but slugger Juan Soto<\/a> exited early with right calf tightness.<\/p>\n

Soto is scheduled for an MRI on Saturday, manager Carlos Mendoza said. <\/p>\n

Semien launched his first homer for the Mets and drove in three runs. Bichette opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first.<\/p>\n

McLean (1-0) took a perfect game into the sixth before walking Harrison Bader<\/a> and Patrick Bailey<\/a> to begin the inning. Jerar Encarnacion<\/a> flied out to right field, but Willy Adames<\/a> doubled to right-center to bring home Bader and end McLean\u2019s night.<\/p>\n

The right-hander was charged with two runs (one earned). He struck out four. Four relievers combined to finish a five-hitter.<\/p>\n

Run-scoring singles by Bichette and Semien off Tyler Mahle<\/a> (0-2) gave the Mets a 2-0 lead in the first. <\/p>\n

Semien drilled a two-run homer to center off Mahle in the fourth. One out later, Alvarez also took Mahle deep to center.<\/p>\n

Alvarez led off the Mets\u2019 three-run seventh with a homer to left against JT Brubaker<\/a>, giving the catcher three home runs this season and six career multihomer games. <\/p>\n

Soto singled in the first and appeared to slow up while running from first to third on Bichette\u2019s RBI single. He was forced out at home when Brett Baty<\/a> grounded into a 1-2-3 double play, and Tyrone Taylor<\/a> replaced Soto in left field for the bottom of the inning.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old Soto has hit safely in all eight games this season. He’s in the second season of a record $765 million, 15-year contract with the Mets. He had 43 homers and 105 RBI while playing in 160 games last season.<\/p>\n

Up next <\/p>\n

Mets RHP Clay Holmes<\/a> (1-0) faces Giants RHP Landen Roupp<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
