Mets Make History with 7 Solo Home Runs in Philly Win

After slogging through a rough seven-game losing streak, the New York Mets finally snapped back with a wild 11-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The night turned into a home run derby—seven solo blasts, tying a Major League record.

Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor, and Juan Soto led the charge, hammering five of those homers between them. Kind of a reminder, honestly, of what this Mets lineup can do when everything just clicks for a night.

Mets Break the Slump with Record-Tying Power Display

The Mets’ offense exploded at Citizens Bank Park, racking up 15 hits and seven solo home runs. The combined distance? 2,911 feet—over half a mile of baseballs flying out of the park.

It was a total reversal from the previous week, when even scraping together a single run felt impossible. Suddenly, everyone in the lineup seemed to remember how to hit.

Nimmo and Soto Shine Bright

Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto stole the show, each mashing two home runs. Soto had a season-high four hits and drove in four runs, including a 437-foot shot in the seventh—his longest of the year.

Could this be the start of something for him? Mets fans have to hope so.

Nimmo, for his part, set the tone early with his quick bat and knack for finding gaps. His two homers helped put the Phillies’ pitching staff on its heels.

It’s the kind of performance that makes you wonder if the Mets can claw their way back into the playoff picture.

Francisco Lindor Extends Remarkable Streak

While Nimmo and Soto grabbed the spotlight, Francisco Lindor quietly kept one of the weirdest streaks in baseball alive. The Mets have now won *28 straight games* when Lindor homers—just one shy of a 71-year-old MLB record.

Lindor chipped in with multiple extra-base hits and three RBIs. He just keeps finding ways to matter in the lineup, doesn’t he?

Something Special About Back-to-Back-to-Back Homers

The third inning brought a moment that’ll stick with fans for a while—back-to-back-to-back home runs. The Mets hadn’t pulled that off since 2022, and the dugout went nuts.

It also pretty much stunned the Phillies crowd, who expected an easy night against a struggling team. Those three swings felt like a statement that the Mets weren’t going quietly.

Why This Performance Matters

This win was more than just a notch in the standings—it felt like a weight off everyone’s shoulders. Losing streaks can mess with a team’s head, and this one was starting to drag.

Manager Carlos Mendoza probably breathed a little easier watching his guys finally play up to their talent. Maybe he was right to stick with them after all.

Takeaways from the Game

The Mets’ showing against the Phillies gives fans something to hang onto. Here are a few things that stood out:

What’s Next for the Mets?

The Mets’ 11-4 win feels like a step in the right direction. Still, can this kind of game actually lead to real momentum?

New York hovers right on the edge of playoff contention. Every game counts as they try to claw back into the division race.

Nimmo, Soto, and Lindor look sharp—maybe even at their best. When those guys click, the Mets have a shot to flip their story.

Right now, this win says they’re not backing down. They’re still in the fight, at least for now.

The Mets will try to ride this energy into their next game. After snapping a seven-game losing streak, they’ve got a shot to build some confidence—or maybe even start a run.

Could this be the turning point? Hard to say. Baseball’s weird like that.
