The Philadelphia Phillies secured a 6-2 victory over the New York Mets on Sunday night, completing a two-game sweep and extending the Mets' losing streak. The win underscored Philadelphia's offensive firepower and pitching depth.
Power in the lineup
Kyle Schwarber launched a three-run homer in the second inning, marking his MLB-leading 29th home run of the season and giving the Phillies an early cushion.
Bryce Harper followed with a solo shot in the fifth inning, his 17th homer of the year, further stretching the lead.
Wheeler's stability
Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler delivered a solid outing, allowing only two runs on four hits while striking out seven, showcasing the rotation's stability.
The Mets struggled to respond, with starter David Peterson lasting just four innings and surrendering five runs, a performance that left the visitors scrambling to halt the slide.
Looking ahead
Philadelphia will aim to carry the momentum into the next series, hoping the bats stay hot and the rotation continues to lock down opponents. The Mets, meanwhile, look to regroup as they head back to the road.
