Mets Rout Phillies 13-3 Move Within Six Games NL East

The New York Mets defeated the division-leading Philadelphia Phillies 13-3, fueled by a strong offensive performance that overcame an early 3-0 deficit. Luis Torrens was the standout, hitting a three-run homer and matching his career-high with five RBIs, including an RBI double and a single, while Jeff McNeil contributed three RBIs. Mark Vientos also played a key role, delivering two RBI doubles that helped break the tie late in the game, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Despite starter Kodai Senga allowing three runs over four-plus innings, the Mets' offense rallied with timely hitting, going 11-for-19 with runners in scoring position, and the bullpen held the Phillies at bay. The Phillies remain six games ahead in the NL East, but with six more meetings between the teams this season, the Mets' recent offensive surge could help them close the gap. Other notable moments included a 10-minute delay caused by a complaint about a parabolic microphone and Juan Soto's heads-up baserunning contributing to the Mets' rally.
