In their first game at Citi Field in over two weeks, the Mets defeated the Phillies by a 7-2 score in a crucial Game 3 that gives them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five NLDS.
Sean Manaea was great, as he blanked the Phillies through the first seven innings of the game. The Mets’ lineup, meanwhile, wasted very little time in getting on the board. Pete Alonso hit a solo home run off Aaron Nola to open the scoring in the second. And Jesse Winker hit a no-doubt solo shot in the fourth to give the Mets a 2-0 lead.
