One Sentence Summary: Jesus Luzardo pitched a gem and Edmundo Sosa fell a triple short of the cycle in this 7-1 drubbing of the Mets.
What It Means: What a wonderful game! The Phillies re-took first place, and following a day off on Monday they'll open a three-game series in Houston.
What Happened: Luzardo improved to 7-3, pitching 6 2/3 fantastic innings, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out seven. The highlight of the night for him was striking out Juan Soto to end the sixth inning on a nearly 98mph fastball. Max Lazar gave up a solo home run to Francisco Lindor, the Mets' only run.
