NY Post: Mets’ Michael Cuddyer starting to find his groove at Citi Field. "The Mets outfielder continued his recent surge with a home run Wednesday in a 7-0 victory over the Phillies, raising his average to .381 over his last 12 games at Citi Field. Cuddyer has homered twice in three games on this homestand."

NY Post: After blasting 2 HRs, Lucas Duda explains his recent power surge, "Duda collected the eighth multi-homer game of his career and second this season, by launching a pair of fastballs from starter Sean O’Sullivan during a three-hit performance in the Mets’ 7-0 romp that completed a three-game sweep of the Phillies...Duda was part of the 3-4-5 group in the batting order, including cleanup hitter Daniel Murphy and No. 5 guy Michael Cuddyer, who combined to go 8-for-12, with five runs and five RBIs. Duda and Murphy each had three hits while Cuddyer had two, including a two-run homer."
