Home runs and power pitching. This was the plan all along.
For one afternoon — well, for a weekend — it panned out for the Mets.
Noah Syndergaard turned in arguably his best outing of the season, the offense exploded with late fireworks, and the Mets swept the skidding Diamondbacks out of Citi Field, 4-1, Sunday afternoon in front of 34,894.
Amed Rosario hit his first two homers of the season and pinch-hitter Asdrubal Cabrera continued his stellar start to the season with a go-ahead two-run shot as the Mets (23-19) swept their first series since taking three straight from the Marlins April 9-11.
