PHILADELPHIA — Jonathan Villar caught the Phillies sleeping, took a quiet trip around the bases and sparked a six-run Mets rally that represented their best offensive production of the year. The Mets needed every single one of those six runs to come out on top after a dramatic bottom of the ninth inning.
Edwin Diaz entered the ninth with a four-run lead, three outs away from a win. A walk, a triple and a walk changed the outlook and put Rhys Hoskins, the tying run, at the plate. Hoskins crushed what was first called a three-run home run, then after a review, overturned for a two-run double, to right field and brought the Phillies within one run.
