PHILADELPHIA — The bats came back just in time. But the bullpen nightmares did, too.
So the Mets left Citizens Bank Park beaten, battered and beaten again from a road trip that came to a close in brutal fashion.
After Todd Frazier’s two-run homer in the top of the ninth pulled the Mets from the depths of despair in a three-run rally, the Phillies came back in the bottom half to stomp on their throats one more time with a pair of crushing home runs off Edwin Diaz to win, 6-3, and complete a four-game sweep.
