The Mets won their sixth straight game by a score of 5-1, securing the series victory from the NL East rival Phillies at Citi Field. Griffin Canning navigated traffic on the base paths almost every inning, but limited the damage to one run over five innings of work. The Mets held onto a narrow lead through most of the game, but a big three-run inning off the Phillies bullpen in the seventh provided some much-needed cushion for the bullpen to finish the job.
Both teams were getting runners on base at a prolific clip early, but the Mets did a better job taking advantage of their opportunities against Cristopher Sánchez.
