The Aaron Harang vs. Yoenis Cespedes Battle

As strange as it sounds, since they won by six runs, the Phillies held on to beat the New York Mets in Tuesday night’s game at Citi Field. The Mets scored four runs against Aaron Harang in the fifth inning to chase him from the game, and then once in each of the final four innings. They simply ran out of time, and the Phillies won 14-8. It’s the first time the Phillies defeated the Mets since May 8, ending a 10-game losing streak against them. Darin Ruf had a career game, homering and knocking in six runs.
