Game 42 - Monday Night, May 13th in Flushing
Record - 29-13, 1st Place, 2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Bryson Stott came up big in the late innings as the Phillies came from behind in this 5-4 extra inning win.
What It Means: My work schedule and a pesky spring cold means I'm a week behind again with game summary posts, but I'll use a somewhat relaxing weekend to catch back up. It's not a huge chore to do these things several days after the fact when most of them are wins.
What Happened: The Phillies were trailing 4-2 heading to the ninth as Mets' closer Edwin Diaz was trumpeted to the mound. Stott greeted Diaz with a solo home run. Diaz appeared somewhat rattled as Kody Clemens singled, Brandon Marsh walked and Whit Merrifield walked to load the bases. With two outs, Diaz hit Alec Bohm, forcing the tying run home. Orion Kerkering kept the Mets from scoring in the bottom of the ninth, sending the game to extras. In the top of the 10th, a wild pitch sent ghost runner Bryce Harper to third and Harper would score on Stott's sacrifice fly. Jose Alvarado pitched a perfect 10th for his eighth save.
