One day after a dramatic, walk-off win, the Mets dropped their series opener 5-4 to the Phillies. Sean Manaea was fantastic over six innings, and New York carried a 4-2 lead into the ninth, but Edwin Díaz blew his second save in his last three tries. The umps blew a call that should’ve been a strikeout, and Díaz hit a batter to force in the tying run—a play that would be reviewed and upheld. Philadelphia would take the lead in the top of the tenth, and the Mets would go down quietly in the tenth.
