First pitch was delayed 11 minutes due to weather, but James Loney and Asdrubal Cabrera were content with the wait as they slugged back-to-back home runs in the second inning to get the Mets going before a storm rolled through and delayed the game for an hour and eight minutes.
After the rain stopped, the balls continued to leave the yard. Kris Bryant trimmed the Mets' lead down to 4-1 with a solo home run in the fourth, and then Brandon Nimmo responded with a three-run home run, the first of his career, a half-inning later.
