Final: Mets 5, Phillies 1
Rain fell for much of the night at Citi Field, leading to a 105 minute rain delay ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies-New York Mets Monday evening tilt. The Phillies may have been better served if the rain caused the game to be altogether postponed.
The Mets got on the board first, with star rookie Pete Alonso placing a beautiful RBI double into right field in the bottom of the third inning:
Former Phillie Wilson Ramos would single in Alonso later in the inning, allowing the Mets to take a 2-0 lead.
