Mets 3, Phillies 2Game 28 - Sunday Afternoon, May 12th in New York
Record - 10-18, 5th Place, 9 1/2 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Mets completed the three-game sweep with a Sunday matinee win over the Phillies, 3-2.
What It Means: The Phillies losing skein continued as they dropped their sixth consecutive game. Spoiler alert - The losing streak would grow to seven on Monday night before Charles Hudson and Juan Samuel contributed to stop the streak on Tuesday night in Cincinnati.
What Happened: Kevin Gross took the loss, pitching six innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits. He allowed a first inning home run to Keith Hernandez. The Mets third and ultimately their winning run scored in the sixth when Juan Samuel booted a ground ball, prolonging the inning and allowing Danny Heep to score. It was Samuel's fourth error of the season.
The Phillies offense continued to be ineffective. Kevin Gross was the only Phillie to have a multi-hit game. Glenn Wilson pinch hit for Gross in the seventh and hit a solo home run off Darling, his fourth of the season.
Featured Card: Gross was decent in filling the role of the team's fifth starter, despite this game's outcome. This was his third start, and he had lasted at least five innings in each outing.
Even though the Phillies were playing like crap, you could still look good while rooting for them. Gold Medal Sporting Goods had you covered when it came to official Phillies gear and souvenirs.
