Mets crush seven homers in emphatic rout of Phillies to finally snap losing streak
NY Post
PHILADELPHIA — That’s one for each game of the now deceased losing streak.
The Mets turned to a tried-and-tested method for success Saturday night, smashing seven home runs to snap a seven-game losing streak with an 11-4 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto each homered twice and Francisco Lindor, Jared Young and Francisco Alvarez joined the parade with blasts on a night the Mets amassed 15 hits to finally exhale.
All seven home runs occurred with the bases empty. It tied a major league record for solo homers in a game.
The top three in the lineup — Lindor, Nimmo and Soto — combined to drive in nine of the runs.
The Mets, who moved into a tie with the Phillies atop the NL East, had scored only 16 runs during the losing streak.
