The Mets took the lead on an Amed Rosario home run to start the game, and things just got crazier from there. Highlighted by a 10-run fifth inning, the Mets took the first game of their doubleheader against the Phillies, 24-4. The Mets’ 24 runs set a new franchise record for runs scored in a game. The previous record of 23 runs occurred on this exact date 31 years ago against the Cubs. Corey Oswalt had an okay start in which he went six innings while giving up four runs on four home runs.
