Mets and Yankees Split Doubleheaders on a Busy Sunday

PHILADELPHIA — Pete Alonso homered twice, had three hits and drove in five runs to lead the Mets to a 6-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in the second game for a doubleheader split Sunday.

Chris Bassitt (4-2) allowed one run in 5 u2154 innings to help the N.L. East-leading Mets. Jean Segura homered for the Phillies.

In the opener, Bryce Harper homered again off Max Scherzer and the Phillies became the first team to beat the new Mets ace, snapping a four-game skid by winning, 3-2.

Alonso almost single-handedly lifted the Mets in the nightcap, driving a changeup from Cristopher Sánchez (0-1) deep to left for a two-run homer in the first.
