NEW YORK -- — Manny Machado hit a tiebreaking grand slam in the fifth inning and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 7-4 on Wednesday night in a matchup of postseason contenders.

With two runners aboard in the ninth, All-Star closer Robert Suarez knocked down Juan Soto's line drive with his glove and calmly threw to first base for the final out.

Ramón Laureano also homered and Jake Cronenworth had an RBI single for the Padres, who stayed two games behind the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers. San Diego holds the second of three National League wild cards, five games in front of the Mets.

New York remained 1 1/2 games ahead of Arizona for the final NL playoff spot. Cincinnati and San Francisco are both two games back.

Soto homered against his former team, equalizing a career high with his 41st of the season. Pete Alonso went deep for the third consecutive game. Starling Marte and Francisco Alvarez also connected for the Mets, and Brett Baty had three hits.

Fernando Tatis Jr. reached base four times and scored twice for San Diego. Machado finished with three hits, including two infield singles.

Adrian Morejon (12-5) replaced Padres starter Nick Pivetta with two outs in the fifth and retired all four batters he faced. Mason Miller pitched 1 2/3 perfect innings and Suarez got three outs for his NL-leading 39th save in 44 opportunities.
