Game 54 - Sunday Afternoon, June 1st in Philadelphia
Record - 24-30, 5th Place, 6 games behind the Braves
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies and Mets played their third straight extra-inning game, and the Mets won after the newly recalled Phillippe Aumont allowed a two-run home run to Lucas Duda in the 11th.
What It Means: The Phillies are a season worst six games under .500 and they have a secure hold on last place in the N.L. East.
What Happened: Ryan Howard (two-run home run in the fourth) and Marlon Byrd (solo home run in the 11th) provided the offense, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Mets. The Phillies best chance to add some runs came in the seventh when Cesar Hernandez led off with a bunt single and was advanced to second on a Reid Brignac sacrifice bunt. Domonic Brown singled next, but was thrown out between first and second in a bone-headed baserunning move.
Cole Hamels once again pitched nicely, allowing just two runs (one earned) in his seven innings of work. Aumont recorded two quick outs in the 11th, but walked Travis d'Arnaud (hitting .193) setting up Duda's two-run blast.
