Mets walk-off in game 1 of doubleheader
Final Score: Mets 4, Phillies 3
This was a tough game for Phillies fans who hate baseball’s newest rule changes. Philadelphia dropped the first game of a seven-inning doubleheader, losing in extra innings with a runner artificially placed on second.
Neris was the losing pitcher in game one. (Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire)Héctor Neris is credited with a loss and blown save after giving up two runs, one earned, in the bottom of the eighth.
The Phillies will call upon Aaron Nola to throw as many inning as he can in game two. They used Neris, Brogdon, JoJo Romero and Jose Alvarado, so they’ll be short of high-leverage options later.
