NEW YORK (CBS/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. Bruce drove in four runs against his former team and Rhys Hoskins homered as the Phillies took two of three in the series.
Mets rookie Pete Alonso hit his 30th home run to break up Nola’s no-hit bid in the sixth inning.
Bruce is now hitting .291/.308/.641 with 10 home runs, 29 RBI and six doubles in 28 games with the Phillies. The Mets traded Bruce to Seattle in the winter as part of a package for Cano and Diaz, the Mariners dealt him to the Phillies in June.
