The Mets offense erased their Saturday woes on primetime television, notching 10 runs en route to a 10-6 win over the Phillies on Sunday Night Baseball. The win secured their seventh straight series victory to start the season, which is 1) absolutely incredible scenes and 2) legitimately impressive regardless of their opponents.
Max Scherzer got the ball, and provided an almost quality start. He started off hot, striking out the first five Phillies he faced and generally looked locked in on the bump, but Kyle Schwarber remembered that he destroys literally every pitch a New York Met throws at him, tattooing a solo shot to make it 1-0 Phillies.
