Taylor and Semien each hit a 3-run homer as Mets beat Dodgers 8-3 to avoid
season sweep

NEW YORK (AP) --- Tyrone Taylor put the Mets ahead with a three-run homer in
the sixth inning, Marcus Semien added a three-run drive in the seventh and New
York beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3 on Sunday to prevent a season sweep.
With the Dodgers leading 3-1, reliever Jack Dreyer walked rookie Carson Benge
and pinch-hitter Luis Robert Jr. in the sixth. Taylor gave the Mets a 4-3 lead
by hitting a 1-1 sinker from Evan Phillips (0-2) into the left-field seats.
It was Taylor's fifth homer in 18 games since returning from the injured list
on June 28. Eligible for free agency after this season, the backup outfielder
appears likely to get traded before the Aug. 3. deadline.
Freddy Peralta allowed three runs --- two earned --- and six hits over four
innings in what could end up being his final start for New York. Peralta also
can become a free agent following the World Series and is expected to get moved
sometime within the next eight days as part of a significant selloff by the
last-place Mets (44-62).
