Final Score: Phillies 2, Mets 1
The first six innings of Sunday’s Mets-Phillies series finale took an hour and 15 minutes. The clubs combined for five hits — four singles and a double — and had three baserunners reach scoring position. It was get-away-day offense at its finest.
Mets’ starter David Peterson got through six innings on 71 pitches. Phillies’ starter Cristopher Sánchez got through six innings on 69 pitches. After Sánchez finished the top of the seventh, the Phillies’ impressive streak of 32 straight wins when their starter pitched at least seven innings was on the line.
