Reyes, Cabrera homer; Mets top Phils 11-7

Mets break open game with 6-run 4th

Jose Reyes and Asdrubal Cabrera each homered and the New York Mets built a big lead and beat the Philadelphia Phillies 11-7 on Monday to end a fourgame losing streak.

The Mets were up 10-0 by the fourth inning.

Rafael Montero (4-9) won his second straight start. After an impressive outing at Cincinnati in which he tossed 8 1/3 scoreless

innings, he allowed four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings.

The Mets chased Mark Leiter Jr. (2-5) by sending 11 batters to the plate during a six-run fourth.

Reyes extended his hitting

streak to 10 games with his 10th homer of the season. Cabrera added a tworun shot, his 12th.

Ahead 4-0, the Mets broke it open in the fourth. Gavin Cecchini hit a two-run single and after a fielding error by shortstop Freddy Galvis on a bunt by Montero, Reyes had RBI single.

Nori Aoki drove in another run with a grounder,

and reliever Kevin Siegrist’s wild pitch let Reyes score. After two walks, Brandon Nimmo hit an RBI single.

The long inning and a run around the bases perhaps didn’t benefit Montero, who was 2-1 with a 2.10 ERA in his previous four starts.

The Mets righty, who struggled for most part of the season before turning things around in July, ran

into trouble in the fifth, facing six batters and allowing one run.

Montero left after the

Phillies loaded the bases with one out. Reliever Paul Sewald threw a wild pitch that let a run score, then

Hyun-Soo Kim hit a tworun double and pinch-hitter Andres Blanco had an RBI single that made it 10-5.
