Phillies starter Vince Velasquez lasted just 4 1/3 innings in his follow-up performance to his 16-strikeout shutout against the Padres last week -- but only two of the Mets' six dingers came against him. Thanks to a Ryan Howard error that allowed Verrett to reach in the third, only two of the five runs Velasquez allowed were earned, raising his season ERA from 0.00 to 0.93.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Gone, baby, gone: Six times, the Mets went deep against the Phillies, breaking the game open early -- Conforto's two-run homer came in the first inning, Cespedes' three-run shot in the third -- and putting it away late.
