The first of thirteen regular season meetings between storied division rivals did not lack for drama as the Philadelphia Phillies came back in extra innings to defeat the New York Mets 5-4 on Monday night.
The Phillies opened up the scoring off Mets’ starter, Sean Manaea, with some small ball in the top of the second.
Bryson Stott led things off by beating out an infield single on a play that was overturned after he was initially called out. Edmundo Sosa would follow with a double to right field to put two men in scoring position.
