NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — In his first game since April 14, David Wright returned to the Mets with a bang on Monday night.
Hitting cleanup, the star third baseman hit the third pitch he saw into the second deck at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia for his second home run of the season.
It was the first of a franchise-record eight home runs the Amazin’s would hit en route to a 16-7 drubbing of the Phillies.
With the red-hot Mets in first place and the Phillies tied for last place in the National League East, there was a large contingent of Mets fans at the ballpark.
