Mets 7, Phillies 2
NLDS Game 3 - Tuesday Afternoon, October 8th in Flushing
Mets lead series, 2-1
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola gave up what felt like two unsurmountable solo home runs, and the Phillies offense managed two singles before the eighth inning in this 7-2 loss to the Mets.
What It Means: Bad vibes everybody. Pessimism is heavy and watching this game felt like three hours of torture. The Phillies are lifeless.
What Happened: Nola gave up a home run to Pete Alonso to start the bottom of the second, and Jesse Winker added a solo home run in the bottom of the fourth. Nola put a pair of runners on before being relieved by Orion Kerkering in the sixth, and Starling Marte lined a two-run single to center to score both inherited runners. Jose Alvarado loaded the bases in the seventh with two walks and a single, and Jose Iglesias singled home two more runs to make it 6-0, Mets. Carlos Estevez coughed up another meaningless run to the Mets in the eighth.

From the offensive side, Trea Turner singled in the third and Alec Bohm singled in the fourth. Bohm was thrown out at second as he somehow thought he could stretch his single into a double. Walks and hit by pitches gave them some chances, but overall the offense was 2 for 7 with runners in scoring position. Austin Hays was 0 for 3 with two strikeouts.
