Final Score: Mets 8, Phillies 7
It wasn’t quite a laugher, but the Philadelphia Phillies entered the top of the ninth inning with a six-run lead, having had a relatively stress free evening.
And in the matter of one inning, the New York Mets hit the ball all over the yard against the Phillies bullpen, making you feel like you were watching a performance from 2020. Only this time, there weren’t cardboard cutouts in the stands watching the bullpen melt down, there were hundreds — to put it conservatively — of screaming Mets fans, watching what feels like a team of destiny make an epic comeback.
