Mets sweep Phillies in wild fashion with the help of unlikely heroes

The Mets proved to be comeback kids once again in their thrilling 5-4 win over the Phillies to finish off the series sweep of Philadelphia. Two unlikely heroes stepped up for the Amazin’s in the late innings after their bullpen had given up the lead in the eighth.

The Mets originally took the lead in the first inning after taking advantage of a Rhys Hoskins error. With two runners on, Francisco Lindor hit a weak ground ball to Hoskins. Hoskins hesitated and his throw to second pulled Johan Camargo off the bag and then Camargo’s throw home sailed wide to give the Mets their first run with still nobody out.
