Aaron Nola turned in his best start of the season but the Phillies bats’ late comeback wasn’t enough to overcome the bullpen’s struggles in a 5-4 loss. Nola allowed two home runs but left with the score at 2-0 in the sixth before José Ruiz allowed a back breaking three run home run to Francisco Lindor, his second homer of the night. Bryson Stott put a scare into the Citi Field crowd with a three-run homer in the ninth to cut the deficit to 5-4, but Bryce Harper struck out on three pitches to end the comeback attempt.
Too little, too late: Mets 5, Phillies 4
