Maybe the Mets really can survive the looming June gauntlet without Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer. Their lineup seems prepared to slug its way through the brutal stretch of playoff contenders.
There was a long Jeff McNeil home run. Small ball that produced an early run. And the two key middle-of-the-order cogs, Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor, produced when called upon, as the Mets beat the Phillies for the eighth time in 11 tries and now lead the Braves by a season-high 8.5 games in the NL East.The Mets entered the day second in baseball in runs scored, behind only the powerhouse Dodgers, and have now scored at least five runs for the seventh time in 10 games.
The lineup wasn’t even at full strength. Leadoff man Brandon Nimmo sat with a sprained right wrist that required a cortisone shot, but Luis Guillorme filled his role to a tee, reaching base in his first four at-bats. He started a three-run fifth inning with a bunt single that ultimately put the game out of reach.
The offensive outburst made a winner out of Taijuan Walker despite a so-so performance. It was a slog for the right-hander, who was coming off seven shutout innings against the Rockies. His command was off and his location iffy, but he still limited the Phillies to two earned runs over five innings.
