Mets Go Ahead in 9th, but Lose on Home Run by Phillies

PHILADELPHIA — Jean Segura had no problem with three water coolers’ being dumped on his head after a big hit off his former teammate.

Segura ripped a three-run, game-winning homer against closer Edwin Diaz moments after Maikel Franco had hit a tying two-run shot off him in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Mets, 6-3, on Thursday, completing a four-game sweep.

The Mets’ Todd Frazier hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Hector Neris with one out in the ninth, but the Phillies rallied in the bottom of the inning — their fourth straight win since utility man Brad Miller brought a bamboo plant into the clubhouse as a good-luck charm.
