Mets' Homer Barrage Supports Jose Quintana's Gem in Key Win Over Phillies

Quintana Deals Six Innings of One-Run Ball

Jose Quintana was a workhorse on the mound for the New York Mets on Tuesday night, tossing six innings of one-run ball. The veteran left-hander scattered six hits and struck out four batters, earning his third win of the season.

Mets Offense Explodes for Six Homers

The Mets offense provided plenty of support for Quintana, blasting six home runs in the game. Pete Alonso, Starling Marte, Eduardo Escobar, and Mark Canha all went deep for the Mets.

Alonso's Two Homers Lead the Way

Alonso led the way for the Mets with two homers and four RBIs. The reigning Home Run Derby champion now has 12 home runs on the season.

Marte Continues to Impress

Marte also had a big night for the Mets, going 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs. The former All-Star is batting .333 with an OPS of 1.022 this season.

Escobar and Canha Also Go Deep

Escobar and Canha each added solo homers for the Mets, providing additional insurance runs.

Phillies Offense Muffled

The Phillies offense, which entered the game averaging 4.5 runs per game, was held in check by Quintana and the Mets bullpen. Bryce Harper was the only Phillies player to drive in a run.

Mets Win Key Division Game

The win was a key one for the Mets, who are now 20-15 on the season. The Mets remain in first place in the NL East, one game ahead of the Atlanta Braves.

Up Next

The Mets will face the Phillies again on Wednesday night in the second game of their three-game series.
