NEW YORK (AP) — Jose Reyes hit a tying two-run homer in the ninth inning and Asbrubal Cabrera hit a three-run drive in an 11th-inning comeback to lift the New York Mets to a dramatic 9-8 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night that assured them of remaining in the NL wild-card lead.
New York trailed 6-4 when pinch-hitter Brandon Nimmo singled off Jeanmar Gomez leading off the ninth and Reyes sent changeup over the right-field wall with one out. Reyes, who rejoined the Mets this summer, danced with Alejandro De Aza in the dugout before exchanging exuberant high-fives with teammates.
