The Phillies are hosting the Mets for the their first home series of 2017, and Tuesday night's game did not go particular well for the home ball club (NYM 14, PHI 4

It did, however, go particularly well for Mets cloutsman Yoenis Cespedes. Specifically, Cespedes, blasted three homers by the fifth inning on Tuesday night. His first one came in the first off Philly starter Clay Buchholz on an 0-2 count. Cespedes would then one off reliever Adam Morgan in the fourth and again in the fifth. 

Here's video of all three home runs:

Some digits on those three blasts (and they were indeed blasts) ... 

Mercy. 

Cespedes had not one, but two opportunities to hit a fourth home run later in the game. He ripped a double to center field in the seventh inning and grounded out to short in the eighth inning. It should be noted Cespedes fouled out to the catcher in the second inning, so his three home runs did not come in three consecutive at-bats. He went 4 for 6 with five runs drive in, three runs scored, three homers, and one double in the game. Cespedes raised his season batting line from .154/.267/.308 to .250/.333/.688 in one night.

Cespedes has one other three-homer game to his credit, which occurred in August of 2015 against the Rockies in Coors Field. As for this season, Cespedes how has four on the year, and he's just eight shy of career home run No. 150.
