PHILADELPHIA — The Mets outdid themselves again — and so did the Phillies’ bullpen.
Down six heading into the ninth inning, the Mets scored seven runs to catapult themselves to an 8-7 victory. Francisco Lindor provided the early spark with a two-run home run, Brandon Nimmo tied it with a two-out, two-run single and Starling Marte put the Mets ahead with an RBI double on the very next pitch.
Edwin Diaz retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth to solidify the Mets’ most dramatic win in a series of them in this month-old season.
