The New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies with an eighth-inning rally on Saturday, taking the first game of the National League Division Series by the final score of 6-2.

After recording just one hit against Phillies starter Zack Wheeler through seven innings and trailing 1-0, New York's offense exploded once he exited the game. The Mets racked up five of their six runs in the eighth.

Francisco Lindor wasn't able to record a hit, but he walked twice and scored the go-ahead run for New York off an RBI single by Brandon Nimmo.
