Tonight, the New York Mets will take on the Philadelphia Phillies at 7:05 p.m. Seth Lugo (5-3, 4.55) will take the mound against Nick Pivetta (4-7, 5.89).
Last night, the Mets offense woke up and struck early and often. Wilmer Flores hit a three run home run and third baseman, Neil Walker homered too and had four hits in the rout. Michael Conforto did what Michael Conforto tends to do by drawing a few walks and hit a three run home run. Curtis Granderson also hit a two run shot in the ninth and the Mets finished up a 10-0 win. Jacob deGrom was dominant with 10 more strikeouts with 6.2 innings. He was hit with a 99 MPH liner and exited. X-Rays came back negative on the Mets ace.
