Citi Field - Flushing, NY
13-10, 2nd Place, 3 games behind the Mets
13-10, 2nd Place, 3 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: Aaron Nola fell to 0-5 and a late game comeback wasn't enough for the Phillies in this 5-4 loss to the first place Mets.
What It Means: I hate the Mets.
What Happened: Nola gave up a pair of home runs in the first two innings to Francisco Lindor and Jesse Winker to give the Mets a 2-0 lead. It was briefly 5-0 Mets in the third inning after Juan Soto hit what was originally called a three-run home run, but replays showed the ball as clearly foul. Nola departed with one out in the seventh inning, having settled down and allowed seven hits overall while striking out six. Jose Ruiz entered the game, inheriting runners on first and second from Nola, and quickly gave up a three-run home run to Lindor.

The Phillies scored all their runs in the ninth. Max Kepler led off with a double and scored on J.T. Realmuto's RBI single. Alec Bohm reached on a single, and the Mets brought in closer Edwin Diaz. Bryson Stott gave us some temporary hope when he launched a three-run home run off Diaz to bring the deficit to just a run. But Diaz quickly struck out Trea Turner and Bryce Harper to end the ballgame.
Featured Card: Posting a card for Nola in the hopes he turns it around with his next start.
