Mets Crush Phillies Behind Alvarez's Power | Philadelphia News

The Mets crushed the Phillies 4-1 in a smoky, dramatic opener, fueled by Francisco Alvarez’s two homers and Brett Baty’s solo shot — plus a clutch seventh-inning rally. Christian Scott shut down Philly’s bats for 5⅓ innings, striking out seven, while Devin Williams notched his 100th save. Aaron Nola pitched well but couldn’t stop the damage, and Trea Turner’s eighth-inning homer was the only bright spot for Philly. The teams clash again Saturday with Sean Manaea vs. Jesús Luzardo — a battle that could shape the rest of the season.
