The New York Mets snapped a seven-game losing streak with a powerful 11-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, setting a franchise record by hitting seven solo home runs during the game. This performance ties them with several other MLB teams for the most solo home runs in a game. Key contributions came from outfielders Juan Soto and Brandon Nimmo, with two home runs each. The win puts the Mets in a competitive position to regain the lead in the NL East, emphasizing the need for consistent offensive performance moving forward.
The Mets' 7 solo homers tie the MLB record, joining: 8/4/22 Angels 6/24/18 Dodgers 6/25/16 White Sox 6/15/16 Orioles 5/28/06 Braves 7/4/77 Red Sox.
Saturday's win is hopefully just the start of a turnaround for New York. Can it continue in Sunday's series finale?
An offensive core featuring Soto and Lindor as its main stars needs to be more consistent in order for New York to capture and keep their division.
If the offense can pick up the slack, then New York will be much harder to stop moving forward.
