Jeff McNeil gave us a parting gift for the season, providing the deciding blow in a 3-2 win over the Phillies. The Mets were down early but rallied in the middle and late innings, as usual. In an unusual fashion, that rally was enough to get them a win, though any wins at this point of the season are largely ornamental.
Like the night before, the Phillies got on the board early, with a two out walk and double putting the Mets in an early hole. The Mets squandered several opportunities to score over the next couple innings, stranding two in the first, wasting a leadoff single in the third, and erasing a runner on a double play in the fourth.
