NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Kyle Schwarber became the first major leaguer to reach 30 homers this season with a two-run shot in the seventh inning that sent the Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-4 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.<\/p>\n
The Phillies squandered an early 3-0 lead and fell behind 4-3 before Schwarber hit a 408-foot drive to center field off Kodai Senga (0-7), who was making the first regular-season relief appearance of his big league career.<\/p>\n
Schwarber connected in Philadelphia’s 84th game \u2014 the fastest anyone has reached 30 homers in franchise history. He has six straight 30-homer seasons, the longest active streak in the majors, and eight overall \u2014 most among active players.<\/p>\n
Bryce Harper, Alec Bohm and Brandon Marsh had third-inning RBIs for the Phillies.<\/p>\n
Kyle Backhus (1-0) got the final two outs in the sixth. Jhoan Duran threw a hitless ninth for his 21st save.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia starter Jes\u00fas Luzardo allowed one run and struck out six in five innings.<\/p>\n
Pinch-hitter A.J. Ewing tied it 3-all with a two-run homer for the Mets in the sixth. Fellow rookie Carson Benge, who had two RBIs, drove in the go-ahead run on a fielder\u2019s choice later in the inning.<\/p>\n
New York dropped two of three games in its first series under interim manager Andy Green, who took over when Carlos Mendoza was fired Friday.<\/p>\n
The last-place Mets, who have lost eight of nine, went 2 for 16 with runners in scoring position and stranded 14 overall. They left the bases loaded in the fifth and eighth.<\/p>\n
Senga, demoted to the bullpen this week after compiling a 10.08 ERA in seven starts, gave up four hits and struck out four in five innings. Mets opener Cionel P\u00e9rez pitched a perfect first in his first big league start after 283 relief appearances.<\/p>\n
Philadelphia improved to 18-6 in one-run games, while the Mets fell to 7-15.<\/p>\n
Phillies: RHP Aaron Nola (3-4, 5.58 ERA) pitches Monday against RHP Braxton Ashcraft (7-3, 3.07) and the Pittsburgh Pirates.<\/p>\n
