Phillies right hander James Norwood entered Thursday’s game in the ninth inning with a six-run lead. He’s shown promising stuff so far, but he allowed three runs in his last outing against New York on May 1.
Green Day’s “Brain Stew” ominously played in the background as Norwood warmed up. What was about to transpire was something that hadn’t happened since the 1995 album “Insomniac” was released.
The Mets would send 11 men to the plate and score seven runs on eight hits.
