Game 45 - Thursday Night, May 16th in Philadelphia
Record - 31-14, 1st Place, 2 1/2 games ahead of the Braves
One Sentence Summary: Phils can't complete the four-game home and home series sweep as the Mets push through in 11th inning win.
What It Means: The Phillies took three of four games from the Mets, and the Nationals come to town next for a three-game weekend series. With the Braves off on Tuesday, their division lead dropped to 2 1/2 games.
What Happened: Trailing 2-0 in the sixth inning, the Phillies scored their first run when Alec Bohm singled home J.T. Realmuto. Nick Castellanos would launch a sacrifice fly to left to tie the score, and the Phillies took a 3-2 lead in the seventh when Kyle Schwarber doubled home Bryson Stott. Reliever Jeff Hoffman had a rare less than stellar outing when he allowed the Mets to take the lead in the eighth. But in the bottom of the ninth, the Phillies again got to Mets' closer Edwin Diaz. Brandon Marsh walked to start the inning, went to second on a wild pitch, and came home to tie the game 4-4 on Stott's single to right.

The Mets quickly took the lead in the 11th when J.D. Martinez singled home ghost runner Francisco Lindor off Jose Alvarado. The Phillies threatened in their half of the 11th, but former Phillies' reliever Jake Diekman held them off to deliver the win for the Mets.
Featured Card: This marks Diekman's first appearance on the blog since 2018, and this is his first baseball card from the 2009 Lakewood BlueClaws team set. He's put together a solid 13-year big league career, spending time with eight different teams since departing the Phillies in 2015.
