The New York Mets continued their strong start to the season with a commanding 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field, marking their sixth consecutive win. The offense struggled early on but erupted in a pivotal seventh inning, highlighted by a two-out rally that saw Pete Alonso and Luis Torrens combine for three runs. Alonso's performance, including a double and four RBIs, ties him for the league lead in RBIs with 25, showcasing his critical role in the Mets' lineup.

Starting pitcher Griffin Canning allowed only one run over five innings while navigating through challenges, including a significant pitch count. Despite facing traffic on the base paths, he managed to keep the game close until the Mets' explosive performance in the late innings. The victory not only secured a series win against their division rivals but also placed the Mets alongside the San Diego Padres for the best record in the league at 17-7.
