Mets Pummel Phillies and Gain Ground in Playoff Race

Yoenis Cespedes clocked a three-run homer, Kelly Johnson had a pinch-hit grand slam, and Noah Syndergaard gave up two hits over seven innings as the resurgent Mets routed the Philadelphia Phillies, 12-1, on Saturday night at Citi Field.

Asdrubal Cabrera homered for the third time in two games, a two-run drive that put the Mets ahead against Jeremy Hellickson (10-8). Neil Walker added his 23rd of the season to match a career high, giving the Mets four homers for the second consecutive night in a blowout of Philadelphia.
