Overview
- Philadelphia rolled to a 15-3 win at Citizens Bank Park, sparked by an eight-run third inning that blew the game open.
- Kyle Schwarber hit three home runs, including two in the third, and drove in six runs to extend his MLB lead in homers.
- Bryce Harper completed the first cycle of his career with a fifth-inning triple, giving the Phillies a rare three-homer game plus cycle combination.
- Mets starter Freddy Peralta had a career-worst outing, allowing 10 earned runs in 2 2/3 innings and seeing his ERA rise sharply.
- Cristopher Sánchez limited New York to one earned run in six innings, and the result intensifies trade-deadline and rotation decisions the Mets must address.
