The Phillies are heading to the playoffs. The Mets are not. We’ve seen some of the reasons for why that is the case over the past couple days, as the latter squad has been firmly outplayed by the former in this four-game set at Citizens Bank Park. After losing the first two games of the series, the Mets once again fell to the Phillies today by a score of 7-5.
The Mets got the scoring started in the top of the second against old friend Zack Wheeler. DJ Stewart and Ronny Mauricio got on base to lead off the inning thanks to a walk and single, respectively.
