Post-Vacation Catch-Up II, Post 1 of 11

One Sentence Summary:  David Robertson blew his first save in his return to the Phillies, as the Mets stunned with a pair of home runs in the ninth to give them a 10-8 win.

What It Means:  I had fully expected to enjoy this game and post a game summary prior to leaving for our late August vacation, but the Phillies and Mets had other plans.  The game started at 1:37, with Edwin Diaz notching his 28th save in the early evening, around 7pm.

What Happened:  Alec Bohm had himself quite the day at the plate, but it was all for naught.  Bohm hit a pair of home runs, going 3 for 5 on the day with six RBIs.  Connor Brogdon's struggles continued as he allowed the Mets to tie the game in the seventh when he surrendered a three-run home run to Mark Canha.  Jean Segura gave the Phillies an 8-7 lead in the bottom of the eighth with a solo home run, and Robertson came in to attempt the save.  The Mets quickly took the lead back on a Jeff McNeil double and Canha's second home run of the game.  Tyler Cyr made his big league debut and allowed a crucial insurance run to score when he gave up a home run to Brandon Nimmo.

Featured Card:  All this happened as we were packing for our trip, and making a pre-vacation pitstop at Carl's Cards & Collectibles in Havertown, Pennsylvania for a Sunday night Zack Wheeler autograph signing.  We were concerned Wheeler wouldn't be there by the 7:30 start time, but the long line started moving right at 7:30 and we secured two new Wheeler autographs.  After that, it was off to the airport to start our last vacation of the summer.

Transaction:  There was bad news for the bullpen before this game.  Seranthony Dominguez (rhp) was placed on the 15-day injured list with right triceps tendinitis.  Cyr (rhp) had his contract selected from Lehigh Valley and Corey Knebel (rhp) was transferred to the 60-day injured list to make room for Cyr on the 40-man roster.  Knebel's season is done.
