A Mess, But a Success, Nonetheless: Phillies 10, Mets 5

In a game that could be best described as having chaotic little-league energy, the Phillies emerged victorious, 10-5, in perhaps their sloppiest game of the season.

The Phils and Mets combined for four errors on the scoresheet and perhaps just as many more that weren’t scored as such. While most of the messiness could be partially blamed on the rain, it felt like there wasn’t a single inning in this game that didn’t include some kind of fielding or baserunning miscue.

A weird start

Johan Rojas got the party started in the first when he dropped a fairly easy fly ball, allowing leadoff batter Brandon Nimmo to reach base.
