Bryce Harper finally homers, Cal Stevenson comes up clutch in Phillies’ win over Mets

Final Score: Phillies 6, Mets 4

It lasted 30 games, or 127 plate appearances, but he finally did it. Bryce Harper hit a home run on Saturday. Then, he hit another. The first snapped the second-longest homer-less streak of his career. The second was his 150th as a member of the Phillies and put his club back into the ball game.

Mets starter Luis Severino was more than effective for most of the afternoon. The right-hander retired the first eight Phillies hitters he faced. After getting Trea Turner to ground out to start the bottom of the fourth, Severino faced Harper for the second time.
