The return of David Wright sparked the Mets offense in a big way. Their star third baseman had a three-hit day, including a solo home run in the first inning in the Mets 5-0 shut out win backed by starter Jon Niese. The left-handed Niese breezed through the Phillies order, pitching 6 2/3 shut out … Continue reading Mets Shut Out Phils
