NEW YORK (AP) — Drew Smyly pitched seven solid innings and the Philadelphia Phillies pounded down on Marcus Stroman and a porous Mets defense to beat New York 5-0 Saturday night and end a three-game skid. César Hernández led off the game with his ninth homer, and Philadelphia grinded away early even with star Bryce Harper out of the lineup a day after being hit in the right hand by a fastball.
The Mets played sloppily behind Stroman (7-13), and the right-hander left trailing 5-0 after four innings. He allowed 10 hits and struck out six without issuing a walk.
