Mets Sweep Phillies Behind Strong Pitching and Canha's Bat

The New York Mets swept the Philadelphia Phillies in a three-game series behind strong pitching performances from Max Scherzer and Carlos Carrasco and the hot hitting of Mark Canha.
Canha hit two two-run home runs in the series and drove in six of the Mets' eight runs against the Phillies.
Scherzer pitched seven innings and allowed only two runs with nine strikeouts in the final game of the sweep.
Carrasco allowed one run over six innings in the first game of the series, his second straight solid start since returning from injury.
The Mets have won 10 of their last 14 games and 17 of their last 21 against the Phillies, who have lost four straight and 12 of 17.
