Entering the ninth inning in Philadelphia on Thursday night, it appeared that the first-place Mets would lose back-to-back games for the first time since April 11. Down 7–1, the team mounted an incredible comeback to steal the game 8–7.
Starling Marte led off the inning with a single, before Francisco Lindor opened the scoring surge with a home run to right center to cut the Phillies lead to 7–3.
Pete Alonso hit a line drive double to left field, and after a lineout by Eduardo Escobar, Jeff McNeil singled to right field, moving Alonso to third.
