Final Score: Phillies 8, Mets 2
After almost a week of meaningful baseball, the Phillies offense finally broke out. The 2-3-4-5 hitters, Rhys Hoskins, Bryce Harper and J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm, combined for three doubles, three home runs and eight RBIs. Coming into this game, the Phillies only had 10 extra-base hits through five games.
Starter Aaron Nola, who dazzled in his Opening Day outing, ran his pitch count up early and was out after four innings. Luckily for the Phillies, the ace’s off night was an afterthought.
The Phillies have an off-day Thursday and will open up their first road series of the season against the Atlanta Braves.
