NEW YORK — Once again, the Phillies had a chance to turn the game around in the sixth inning. They capitalized in Game 2 and it led to one of the most exciting wins in Phillies postseason history. They failed in Game 3, and now they face elimination after a 7-2 loss to the New York Mets.
The Phillies had only four base runners through five innings against Mets starter Sean Manaea. It wasn’t all bad. Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos flew out to the warning track in their first two at-bats. All three outs in the first inning were hit at 106 mph.
