Rod Barajas belted a pair of solo home runs and added a run-scoring double against his former team and Jonathon Niese pitched seven strong innings as the New York Mets recorded their eighth straight victory with a 9-1 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday.
David Wright had a two-run homer, Jeff Francoeur launched a solo shot and Angel Pagan added a two-run triple for the Mets, who had eight extra-base hits on Friday. New York is enjoying its longest winning streak since posting 10 straight victories in July 2008.
