PHILADELPHIA -- The Mets' power punch against the Philadelphia Phillies continued Monday in New York's 4-3 series-opening win with two more long balls -- both by Jay Bruce.
The Mets improved their record against the Phillies since the start of 2015 to 27-12, and they now have 36 homers in their past 20 games vs. Philadelphia.
In nine games at Citizens Bank Park last season, New York hit 18 home runs. After one game this season they have two. The Mets have returned nearly the same lineup as 2016.
What are the Phillies doing to try to counter New York's dominance?
