On top of delivering big hits, like he did in Tuesday’s 5-1 win over Philadelphia, Torrens has managed the pitching staff beautifully. Mets pitchers lead the majors in ERA (2.37) and have the second-most strikeouts (232) behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (234).

Mark Vientos delivered an early RBI double in his return to the lineup and Pete Alonso also had a run-scoring double for the Mets, who improved to 11-1 at home. They are tied for the best record in the majors at 17-7 overall and opened a four-game lead over the second-place Phillies in the NL East.

The Mets continued to roll, defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 5-1 at Citi Field on Tuesday night, extending their current winning streak to six games and raising their home record to 11-1.
