The Mets offense had a late burst of life with three home runs in the ninth, but it wasn’t enough to stop the free fall as they lost to the Phillies for the second straight day, this time by a score of 5-3.
The Phillies went with a bullpen game which greatly befuddled the Mets hitters perhaps even more so than their usual befuddlement. They couldn’t string any hits together early on and seemed to just be waiting for Philadelphia to take the lead.
They eventually did in the fifth off Tylor Megill.
