The New York Mets broke a streak and made some history against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday.

Facing a strong of seven straight losses, the Mets offense posted seven homers, all solo, in an 11-4 win to move back into a tie with Philadelphia at the top of the NL East. Their record is 46-31.

Those seven solo homers tied the Mets with six other teams for the most in a game in MLB history, per MLB.com’s Sarah Langs. Only three of those teams hit only solo homers, like the Mets, who got long balls from Juan Soto twice, Brandon Nimmo twice, Francisco Lindor, Jared Young and Francisco Alvarez.

Three of those came in consecutive fashion in the third inning.

It was a big game for Soto in particular, going 4-for-5 with two runs and four RBI. It was his eighth career game with double-digit total bases, putting him in some elite company given his age.

The Mets’ skid entering Saturday was putting an abrupt end to what had been a dream start for a team with World Series aspirations. Behind the best-performing rotation in MLB, a 15-3 run in May and June gave them the best record in the NL. Then, consecutive sweeps at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays and Atlanta Braves.

The Phillies series loomed as a possible turning point for New York, but it got off to a bad start Friday partially thanks to some entertaining baserunning from Philadelphia.
