Christian Scott pitched five effective innings for his first career win, and the New York Mets scored three runs in the fourth inning of their 6-1 victory over the visiting Miami Marlins on Saturday.

Following a pregame ceremony when former outfielder Lee Mazzilli and former manager Bobby Valentine were inducted into New York's Hall of Fame, the Mets won their third straight for the fifth time this season.

In his 16th career start, Scott (1-0) allowed one run on five hits. The 26-year-old right-hander matched a career best by getting eight strikeouts for the third time in his career while issuing a pair of walks and throwing a season-high 96 pitches.

Mark Vientos hit a two-run double and Marcus Semien hit an RBI single in the fourth, when the Mets went ahead 3-0 against Miami's Tyler Phillips (0-1). Jared Young added a homer in the sixth as the Mets won their second straight game over the Marlins after getting swept in a three-game series in Miami last weekend.

Hayden Senger padded the lead with his first career homer in the seventh and Juan Soto delivered an RBI single later in the inning as the Mets finished with 10 hits.

Liam Hicks delivered an RBI single in the fifth for the Marlins, who dropped their fourth straight and lost for the seventh time in 11 games. Miami also set a season high by striking out 15 times.

After pitching 3 1/3 shutout innings to start his outing, Phillips allowed three runs on six hits in five innings. The right-hander struck out two and walked one.

Following a walk by Soto and a single by Young, Vientos hit a double off the top of the left field fence for a 2-0 lead. Semien followed with a base hit to right after a groundout by rookie A.J. Ewing.

Scott struck out Owen Casissie with a runner on first in the fourth before the Mets went ahead. He stranded Hicks in the fifth by retiring Otto Lopez.

Cionel Perez logged a strikeout in his Mets debut in the sixth and Huascar Brazoban pitched a scoreless seventh before the Mets opened a 6-1 lead. Austin Warren fanned two with two on in the eighth and Devin Williams finished up with a 1-2-3 ninth.
