Taijuan Walker bombed by his old team, Mets get closer to Phils
On the 100th anniversary of the birth of Mets broadcaster Bob Murphy, Vientos put the Mets ahead with his 25th homer, a 113.2 mph line drive down the left-field line. Four pitches later, Alonso hit an opposite-field drive to right-center for his 34th homer, giving the Mets back-to-back long balls for the sixth time this season.
