PHILADELPHIA (CBSNewYork/AP) — Brandon Nimmo took a couple of slow steps and gawked at the winning homer he smacked to right.
The kind of reaction was a bit out of character for Nimmo.
That kind of crushing, ninth-inning blow was to true to form for the Phillies bullpen.
Nimmo had a two-RBI tying triple in the sixth inning and hit the go-ahead solo homer in the ninth to lead the New York Mets to a 10-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night.
Nimmo’s eighth homer of the year landed in the right field seats off reliever Brandon Workman (1-3) for a 7-6 lead and was the latest big hit against the beleaguered Phillies bullpen.
