Mets Sweep Giants With Big Win, Establish New Club Home Run Record

Two days ago, the New York Mets were ten games under .500. On Sunday, the Mets completed their sweep of the San Francisco Giants with an 8-2 victory, and are just seven games back of even.

The boys in blue hit four homers today and finished with seven in the series.

Right fielder Jay Bruce had a monstrous performance Sunday, racking up a two-run homer, his 20th on the year, and an RBI groundout.

Catcher Rene Rivera had a brilliant day at the plate, going 2-5 with two solo homers. The first solo shot came in the top of the second inning, and the second came in the top of the fourth.
