You can’t win ‘em all. Despite another dramatic comeback to tie the game in the ninth inning tonight in Philadelphia, the Mets dropped Game 2 of the NLDS by a 7-6 score on a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth.
As has been the case for all of the Mets’ playoff games thus far, there was plenty of drama in this one. In short, the Mets jumped out to a 3-0 lead—on a two-run home run by Mark Vientos in the third and a solo shot by Pete Alonso in the top of the sixth—and carried it into the bottom of the sixth.
