David Peterson Implodes Early as Mets Fall to Phillies, 6-2

Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper each homered for the second straight game and the Philadelphia Phillies defeated the New York Mets 6-2 on Sunday night.

The Phillies duo followed up their historic night on Saturday in which Schwarber hit three home runs and Harper hit for the cycle, by both going deep against the Mets again.

Schwarber launched a second-deck blast, a three-run homer off of Mets starter David Peterson in the second inning, for his Major League-leading 29th home run.

Harper finished with three hits, which included a solo shot, his 17th this season, and a double, giving him five extra base hits in the last two games.

Zack Wheeler (7-1) pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs and four hits with seven strikeouts as the Phillies won the weekend series from New York.
