Playoff series: Mets lead 1-0; Regular-season series: Phillies won 7-6
The Mets were down 1-0 heading into the 8th inning, but scored 5 runs with some good old-fashioned small ball – 3 singles and 2 sac flies – to get the job done. The 6-2 win was their 3rd comeback victory in 4 postseason games.
The Phillies showed some rust after their bye, managing only 2 runs on 5 hits, including a leadoff homer from DH Kyle Schwarber. Starter Zack Wheeler delivered with 9 strikeouts over 7 shutout innings, but the bullpen and offense fell short, resulting in the loss of home-field advantage in this 5-game series.
