The Mets defeated the Phillies by a final score of 5-1 after a lengthy rain delay at Citi Field. The delay did not affect Steven Matz who was brilliant over six innings. His only blemish was a solo home run by Rhys Hoskins.
Jake Arrieta was also solid for the Phillies but the Mets were able to get to him. They scored two in the third with RBI hits by Pete Alonso and Wilson Ramos, and Jeff McNeil blasted his first home run of the year in the fifth to give the Mets a two-run lead.
