Phillies drop doubleheader opener on walkoff homer

NEW YORK — A brief video review confirmed the call on the field that New York Mets pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores didn’t get hit by a pitch in the 10th inning of the first game of a doubleheader Monday.

Bad break for the Phillies.

One pitch later, Flores launched a walkoff solo home run off the left-field foul pole to give the Mets a 4-3 victory. Phillies reliever Victor Arano made the slow walk off the field following the team’s second consecutive loss.

Aaron Nola — the Phillies’ newly minted All-Star — will go to the mound in the nightcap.
