Final Score: Mets 5, Phillies 4-The magic continues
The Mets defeated the Phillies 5-4 to secure their first sweep of the season with the help of some late-inning heroics by Nick Plummer and Eduardo Escobar.
It was a 3-1 game heading into the eighth inning before the Phillies took the lead with one swing of the bat by Nick Castellanos against Adam Ottovino. What was a two-run lead quickly became a one-run deficit which remained until the bottom of the ninth. Nick Plummer swung at the first pitch he saw from Corey Knebel and deposited it deep into the left field stands for his first major league hit to tie the game at four apiece.
