It didn't take very long for the New York Mets' bats to get going Saturday night.

With one out in the top of the first, Brandon Nimmo took Philadelphia Phillies rookie Mick Abel yard with a 415-foot bomb to center. Then, after going down 3-1, the Mets bounced right back with back-to-back-to-back homers from Francisco Lindor, Nimmo and Juan Soto in the third.

Soto added another solo shot in the fifth, while Jared Young got in on the fun with a home run of his own in the eighth. Francisco Alvarez capped off the blowout win with a 452-foot missile in the top of the ninth, locking up the 11-4 series-evening victory.

All seven home runs came with the bases empty. As a result, New York became one of seven teams in MLB history to hit seven solo homers in the same game, per MLB.com's Sarah Langs.

Of those seven squads, Langs noted that the Mets are the fourth ever that has recorded seven solo homers and no other home runs. The Chicago White Sox achieved the feat in 2016, while the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels did it in 2018 and 2022.

According to OptaSTATS, Saturday marked the first time in MLB history that a game featured at least seven home runs, with all seven being solo home runs hit by the same team.
