Despite falling to an early three-run deficit, the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets behind home runs from Adam Haseley, Maikel Franco and Scott Kingery. The Phillies are now 74-68 and sit just two games behind the Chicago Cubs for the second National League Wild Card spot.
This game did not start well for the Phillies. After quickly retiring two to start the first inning, starting pitcher Vince Velasquez allowed a walk followed by back-to-back home runs by Wilson Ramos and Robinson Cano that gave the Mets a 3-0 lead.
In the third inning, the Phillies started to chip away at the deficit against Mets starter Noah Syndergaard.
