NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Aaron Nola held the Mets hitless into the sixth inning, Jay Bruce homered twice and the Philadelphia Phillies quieted New York with an 8-3 victory Sunday.
Rookie Pete Alonso hit his 30th home run to break up Nola’s no-hit bid.
Bruce drove in four runs against his former team and Rhys Hoskins homered as the Phillies took two of three in the series.
The Phils headed into the All-Star break at 47-43 — they were 53-42 at this point last year, before adding Bryce Harper, J.T. Realmuto, Andrew McCutchen and more in an offseason push.
