PORT ST. LUCIE \u2013 The St. Lucie Mets extended their season-long winning streak to five games with a 10-3 romp over the Daytona Tortugas on Tuesday night at Clover Park.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Rodriguez tied the game 3-3 with a RBI single. Trey Snyder put the Mets ahead with a two-run single that made it 5-3. Antonio Jimenez crushed a two-run double off the wall for a 7-3 lead. All that damage came against Daytona starter Stharlin Torres.<\/p>\n
Yohairo Cuevas capped the scoring with a two-run homer to right field off Bryce Archie for a 9-3 advantage. Following the home run the game was delayed by rain for 48 minutes.<\/p>\n
Out of the rain delay four Mets relievers combined to pitch seven innings of one-hit ball. Zack Mack pitched 2.0 perfect innings behind starter Conner Ware to get the win. Ernesto Mercedes then pitched 2.0 hitless innings. Joe Charles pitched around a leadoff double in the seventh and logged 2.0 scoreless innings. Caden Wooster closed out the game with a hitless ninth.<\/p>\n
Ware gave up three runs on two singles in the first inning. He stranded two base runners to get through the first and then pitched a 1-2-3 second inning before the rain delay cut his outing short.<\/p>\n
All nine batters in the Mets lineup reached base. Eight recorded a hit. Cuevas was 2 for 4 with a homer, double, walk, two RBI and two runs.<\/p>\n
Jimenez was 2 for 5 with a double and two RBI.<\/p>\n
The nine runs scored in the second inning were the most by the Mets in a single inning this season. Tuesday was the second game out of the last three that the Mets scored double digit runs.<\/p>\n
The Mets have won four straight games against the Tortugas.<\/p>\n
