Final score: Phillies 5, Mets 4—Adding insult to injury

They scored most of their runs in the first inning, thanks to a Pete Alonso groundout and a pair of singles from Eduardo Escobar and Mark Canha. They added on another run in the seventh following a James McCann stolen base and Francisco Lindor RBI single. But the Mets were constantly tormenting the Phillies by getting on base all night, thanks in no small part to a handful of Alec Bohm errors. But they were unable to convert these baserunners into runs scored, which helped lead to their eventual downfall.
