Final score: Mets 8, Phillies 2—Another episode of the Jeff McNeil/Francisco Lindor Buddy Power Hour

For the second straight game, the Mets scored eight runs. This time, they were able to prevent the Phillies from any big offensive innings of their own, leading to a decisive 8-2 victory in the second game of this weekend series.

The scoring for the Mets got started in the bottom of the second on a sacrifice fly by Dominic Smith. While they subsequently fell behind 2-1 in the top of the fourth, they quickly responded in the bottom of the frame thanks to a long three-run homer of the bat of Jeff McNeil.
