13-12, 2nd Place, 5 games behind the Mets
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies wasted Zack Wheeler's outing as the bats continued to slumber and Jordan Romano's struggles persisted in this 4-3, extra-inning loss to the Mets.
What It Means: Dreadful. Bryce Harper went 1 for 11 with three walks in the series, and he had this to say following the loss: "We've got to play better baseball."
What Happened: The game was tied 2-2 through regulation. The Mets struck first, with Brett Baty hitting a two-run home run in the second. The Phillies tied it up in the fourth on RBI singles from Johan Rojas and Trea Turner, scoring Edmundo Sosa and Weston Wilson. Wheeler struck out nine in his six innings, allowing five hits and walking a pair. Jose Alvarado threw two scoreless frames in the eighth and ninth innings.

The Phillies took the lead in the 10th when Nick Castellanos singled home zombie runner Harper. With Romano on the mound in the bottom of the 10th, Pete Alonso doubled home zombie runner Francisco Lindor and Starling Marte singled Alonso home with the winning run.
Featured Card: Romano, the team's big offseason bullpen pick-up, has been awful. An All-Star in 2022 and 2023 with the Blue Jays, Romano owns a 13.50 ERA through 11 appearances and 9 1/3 innings pitched so far in 2025.
Transaction: Wilson (of) was activated from the 10-day injured list and Kody Clemens (inf), who is out of minor league options, was designated for assignment. Clemens has appeared in just seven games for the Phillies so far this season, all as a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner.
