PHILADELPHIA — Maikel Franco hit a go-ahead two-run homer for the second straight game, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Mets, 7-5, on Tuesday night.
Brad Miller, Scott Kingery and Rhys Hoskins also connected as Philadelphia earned its second straight win since losing seven in a row.
Franco hit a shot to right off Wilmer Font (1-2) for his 18th homer, lifting the Phillies to a 6-5 lead in the sixth inning. Then Miller, pinch-hitting, made it back-to-back shots.
Things then got chippy when Font drilled Kingery on the left shoulder.
