No one thought it was going to happen. It looked quite gloomy at times, especially when the Phillies took the lead thanks to a three-run homer from Maikel Franco in the top of the eighth inning. The Mets went into the bottom of the ninth inning down 6-4….and Jose Reyes hit a two-run homer to tie the game.
Free baseball, folks!
It looked promising in the bottom of the 10th inning when Lucas Duda came in to pinch-hit. He hit a Duda bomb – that went slightly foul. And by slightly foul, I mean it was less than a foot away from being fair.
