Clearing the Fence


This was the swing that changed the course of Saturday night's Mets/Phillies game: Yoenis Cespedes' 4th inning home run. A three-run laser that broke a close game open as the Mets stretched a 2-1 lead to 5-1 (the game ended 12-1 New York). It seemed as if every ball Cespedes made contact with that night was fired from a cannon. A few pitches earlier, he nearly took Noah Syndergaard's head off with another -- but that ball went foul. This shot stayed fair and put three runs on the board, and led to the various fives being exchanged with teammate Jose Reyes, who scored on Cespedes' blast.
