Surging Mets belt four homers in key win over elite rival Phillies
NY Post
The opponent changed, but the Mets just kept blasting away Thursday.
After two straight days piling on the hapless Nationals, manager Carlos Mendoza’s crew steeled for a larger challenge against the NL East leader, even with weak link Taijuan Walker on the mound for the Phillies.
Walker, after all, had fired three innings of scoreless relief last Saturday to help the Phillies beat the Mets, but on this night he served as additional batting practice.
The Mets clobbered four home runs against the right-hander and rolled to a 10-6 victory in front of 35,982 at Citi Field.
