Mets 10, Phillies 9: That was something

After finally finding a bit of success against the Mets on Saturday night, the Phillies entered Sunday looking to make it two straight wins at Citizens Bank Park.

Opposing the Phils on Sunday was Jose Butto, who was making his major league debut. Rob Thomson sent Kyle Gibson to the mound as the Phillies looked to split the four-game series with New York.

The top of the first inning was rather harmless as Gibson recorded two strikeouts and stranded a runner on first.

The 24-year-old righty Butto stepped to the bump in the bottom of the first inning and got off to a shaky start.
