NEW YORK — Jonah Tong<\/a> allowed one earned run in five innings in his major league debut and the New York Mets<\/a> hit six homers and set a franchise record for runs in a home game in a 19-9<\/a> victory over the Miami Marlins<\/a> on Friday night.<\/p>\n Tong (1-0) received a standing ovation from the sellout crowd of 42,112 when he took the mound for a six-pitch first inning. The 22-year-old Canadian right-hander had a 5-0 lead when he returned for the second, and the Mets made it 12-0 in the bottom of the inning.<\/p>\n With an over-the-top delivery that has drawn comparisons to Tim Lincecum, Tong struck out six without a walk. He threw 63 of 97 pitches for strikes.<\/p>\n In the bottom of the first, Juan Soto<\/a> hit a two-run homer and Brandon Nimmo<\/a> had a three-run shot before an out was recorded.<\/p>\n Pete Alonso<\/a> had a two-run homer in the second. Nimmo added a solo shot in the sixth before Mark Vientos<\/a> went deep and Luis Torrens<\/a> slugged a three-run shot in a six-run eighth off infielder Javier Sanoja<\/a>.<\/p>\n Tong allowed all four runs in the fifth following fielding errors by Francisco Lindor<\/a> and Pete Alonso<\/a>. Lindor dropped a throw from second baseman Brett Baty<\/a> on a force attempt, and Alonso misplayed a grounder by Jakob Marsee<\/a>.<\/p>\n
