The Philadelphia Phillies (29-13) take on the New York Mets (19-21) in the second of two games at Citi Field on Tuesday afternoon before heading to Philly to complete the home-and-home series. A day after losing in 10 innings to the Marlins, the Phillies flipped the script against the Mets on Monday.
After looking dead in the water against Mets starter Sean Manaea, the Phillies clawed their way back. Down 4-2 in the ninth, they rallied to tie it on a Bryson Stott solo home run and a bases-loaded hit by pitch. Stott played hero again in the 10th, cashing the winning run with a sacrifice fly.
Cristopher Sánchez settled in after a rocky start and pitched into the sixth inning. He finished with three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five. Seranthony Domínguez looked shaky again, but the rest of the bullpen kept a clean slate. Gregory Soto, José Ruiz, Orion Kerkering and José Alvarado held the Mets hitless over the final 3 2/3 to give the offense a chance.
On the injury front, Kyle Schwarber came off the bench to pinch hit but didn't look quite himself as he nurses a sore back. He's back in today. Catcher J.T. Realmuto will miss his third game with right knee soreness.
Update: Bryce Harper was a late scratch from the Phillies lineup due to a migraine.
