The Mets took out a week’s worth of frustrations with seven solo homers, including back-to-back-to-back blasts in the third inning, and posted an 11-4 win over the Phillies Saturday night in Philadelphia.
Gut Reaction: Monster Ball and a monster game. They needed a win. All the home runs were fun and were celebrated in the chatter but the key hit was Lindor's two run double that expanded the lead to 7-4. Let's win tonight , takes the series and move into sole possession of first place.
Didn’t get to watch this game until the later innings but it was exciting to see the team explode. Lots of hits up and down the lineup and even Alvarez contributed although I think we all feel Torrens should be given more time behind the dish. Young hit another HR but a .167 average deserves to be somewhere else. Would rather see Mauricio DH and Young find a new home. Peterson for the series win before the Braves come to town for four games. Time to turn the tables on them. Will Montas be taking one of those starts? Manaea had a great rehab outing and hope he’s headed back soon.
