Bichette had his 19th career four-hit game and first with the Mets after signing a three-year, $126 million contract during the offseason. He drove in three runs, two in the fourth with a broken-bat single into center field that broke a 1-1 tie. He added an insurance run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Peralta (4-4) allowed one run on six hits in six innings for New York while striking out six. He kept Seattle 0 for 4 with runners in scoring position, including inducing a bases-loaded double play grounder from Randy Arozarena in the third inning. Joe Gerber, Brooks Raley and Luke Weaver kept the Mariners hitless for the final three innings. Jared Young and A.J. Ewing each had two hits as the Mets chased Mariners ace George Kirby (5-5) after four innings. J.P. Crawford led off with his 10th homer of the season for Seattle. It was his 17th leadoff homer of his career --- second most in franchise history.
