Duda started it when Phillies right-hander Sean O'Sullivan grooved a fastball in the first inning. Then O'Sullivan hung a slider against Cuddyer in the third, tossed a sinker with no sink against Noah Syndergaard in the fourth and left another fastball up in the zone for Duda in the fifth.

Each pitch ended up as a home run for the Mets. It was the first time the Mets have hit four home runs in a game since Aug. 26, 2014.
