National Pastime.com: In a 16-7 victory over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, the Mets set franchise marks with eight home runs and 14 extra-base hits, including David Wright's second-inning blast in his first plate appearance since going on the DL in April due to a bad back. Wilmer Flores (2), Yoenis Cespedes, Juan Lagares, Travis d'Arnaud, Daniel Murphy and Michael Cuddyer also contribute to the team's new round-tripper record.
NY Post: Mets blast way into record books with head-turning homer barrage. "It figured there needed to be something special — really special — to overshadow both David Wright hitting a home run in his first at-bat since April 14 and the shortest outing of Jacob deGrom’s big-league career. So, are franchise records of eight home runs and 15 extra-base hits special enough?"
NY Post: David Wright crushes upper-deck homer in 1st at-bat since April. "Wright was back for the Mets, playing his first game since April 14. Leading off the second inning, he looked like he never left as he crushed the third pitch he saw, hammering a mammoth homer on his first swing into the second deck in left, sparking the Mets’ eight-homer, 16-7 romp over the Phillies on Monday."
8/24/2015 The Mets hit a franchise-record eight home runs against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. David Wright, Juan Lagares, Wilmer Flores, Travis d’Arnaud, Michael Cuddyer, Daniel Murphy and Yoenis Céspedes all go deep in the 16-7 victory. pic.twitter.com/QAD3TdrmjP
