Blue Jays pull off weekend sweep with long ball despite 4 Mets home runs

Brandon Belt hit the tie-breaking two-run home run in the seventh inning for the Toronto Blue Jays, who completed a three-game sweep of the host New York Mets with a 6-4 win Sunday afternoon.

The Blue Jays have won four straight and seven of nine. The Mets were swept in a three-game series for the third time this season.

The Mets used four solo homers to erase a 4-0 deficit before the Blue Jays went ahead against former Toronto relief pitcher Dominic Leone (0-2). Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled with one out before Belt hit a 1-2 pitch well beyond the centre-field wall.

Reliever Nate Pearson (3-0) was awarded the win despite giving up homers to Pete Alonso and Starling Marte in the sixth. Adam Cimber tossed a one-hit seventh and Erik Swanson threw a perfect eighth before Jordan Romano earned his 15th save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
