The Mets dealt with an apparent injury, an ace on the mound, and an overworked bullpen. They overcame it all to beat the Phillies 4-3, sweeping their NL East rivals and rounding out a perfect home stand.
The game saw a lot of baserunners, but not a ton of scoring early on. In nine of the first ten half innings, each team had at least one baserunner, and each club stranded small villages on the basepaths this afternoon.
The scoring got underway for the Mets in the second inning. Mark Vientos singled to start the frame.
