A night after being no-hit, the Phillies got the first one out of the way early. The only problem was, they couldn’t score any runs. Kyle Gibson started for the Phillies and kept them in the game for a while, but the offense just couldn’t muster any kind of support for him. You could almost feel all the grumpy naysayers talking about the offseason signings not doing their job, not able to get even one run against Taijuan Walker and company.
Then Kyle Schwarber happened.
The Mets took the lead in the fifth when Brandon Nimmo reached on a walk, then went to third on an error on Gibson that put runners on the corners with one out.
