Mets first baseman hit his first home run of the 2015 season during Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Phillies.
Duda hit the solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning. Duda also hit an RBI double to left center in the bottom of the sixth. He knocked in Travis d'Arnaud for the Mets' sixth and final run of the game. Duda finished the game 2 for 5.
"I believe Lucas Duda’s makeup has changed the last couple of years," Mets manager Terry Collins said, via the New York Daily News. "He knows he belongs and he can hit and put up big numbers here."
Duda now has four doubles and seven RBI this season.
Duda's slash line is now .353/.405/.559.
