In case you missed it…

  • With the Mets leading by a run in the fifth, Bruce parked his 32nd homer of the year - and third in five games - over the right-field fence to give the Mets a 5-2 lead. Seth Lugo and Jose Reyes hit back-to-back two-out doubles an inning earlier to give New York the lead.
