Final Score: Mets 6, Phillies 1
Two home runs from slugging first baseman Pete Alonso was all the New York Mets needed to take Game 2 of the Mother’s Day doubleheader against the Phillies, who are now 12-16.
Both home runs came with two outs and runners on base. The first was against Phillies opener Cristopher Sánchez and gave the Mets a 2-0 lead in the first.
In the fifth, Alonso got a 2-0 fastball right down the middle of the plate against Nick Nelson and drilled it into the left-field seats to put the Mets on top 5-1.
