The Mets set team records with 8 homers and 14 extra-base hits in a 15 – 7 win over the Phillies. In his first at-bat since going on the disabled list with back problems in April, David Wright hits a long homer in the 2nd inning to get the ball rolling for New York. Wilmer Flores hits two and Yoenis Cespedes, Juan Lagares, Travis d’Arnaud, Daniel Murphy and Michael Cuddyer also go deep. New York overcomes a rare poor start by Jacob deGrom, who leaves after giving up 7 runs in 2 2/3 innings, including three-run homers by Ryan Howard and Domonic Brown and a solo shot by Cameron Rupp. Reliever Sean Gilmartin is the winner, while Hector Neris is tagged with the loss.
