Final Score: Mets 5, Phillies 4
NEW YORK — Eduardo Escobar’s game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the tenth secured a Memorial Day weekend Mets sweep over the Phillies. While trailing 3-1, Nick Castellanos gave the Phillies the lead with a three-run home run, but that moment of joy was fleeting as Mets prospect Nick Plummer handed Phillies closer Corey Knebel the blown save with a first-pitch home run in the ninth.
Former Met Zack Wheeler gave the Phillies another solid performance. After allowing three runs (two unearned) in the first, the right hander allowed only one, securing his fifth quality start in his last six outings.
