The Mets secured a series victory and picked up a game on the Cubs in the wild card race today, as they defeated the Phillies 6-3. Steven Matz picked up the win over former Met Jason Vargas, who was saddled with the loss.
Both teams got on the board in the first inning, as Wilson Ramos hit a one-out RBI single in the top of the inning (which extended his hitting streak to 24 games) and Bryce Harper got an RBI groundout in the bottom of the frame.
