PHILADELPHIA — David Robertson got razzed in the bullpen by Phillies fans for the strange-but-true way he strained a calf in last season's playoffs. Yes, the former Phillies reliever was injured when he jumped in the air while celebrating a homer by Bryce Harper.
Robertson kept his feet — and the ball — on the ground in a victorious return trip to Philly for the Mets. He induced ground-ball double plays in the eighth and ninth innings that helped New York hold on for a 4-2 win Saturday over the Phillies.
Robertson was presented with his NL championship ring in a brief ceremony before the game and showed off the bling that included 96 diamonds that spelled out "CHAMPIONS" at his locker.
