Game Preview
The Philadelphia Phillies demonstrated their trademark grit by rallying for a win against the New York Mets, and now they aim to secure the series in Sunday’s final game at Philadelphia.
Sitting comfortably with an eight-game lead in the National League East at 89-59, the Phillies are poised against the Mets and Atlanta Braves, both locked at 81-67, vying for the last wild card spot in the NL. With just 14 games left and an upcoming four-game set in New York, Philadelphia’s path to the postseason is critical.
Saturday’s game saw the Phillies overcome a 4-0 deficit, sparked by Bryce Harper’s two homers and Cal Stevenson’s pivotal two-run double in the seventh, followed by a game-saving catch. Their bullpen secured the 6-4 victory, marking Philadelphia’s 10th win in 13 games.
Manager Rob Thomson praised the team’s seasoned approach and highlighted Stevenson’s potential increased role due to his impactful plays and Harper’s pivotal homers—his first since August 9—helping to dampen the Mets’ recent momentum.
The Mets felt the absence of their key player, Francisco Lindor, sidelined with back soreness, and his return remains uncertain for Sunday’s game. However, Luisangel Acuna, making his major league debut, showed promise with two hits.
Looking ahead, the Phillies will pitch left-hander Cristopher Sanchez (10-9, 3.33 ERA), who has been strong in September, surrendering just two runs over 13 innings. Sanchez previously encountered the Mets this season, yielding three runs over nearly six innings in a May matchup.
Facing off against him will be Mets’ lefty David Peterson (9-2, 2.98 ERA), who is seeking to rebound from a rough outing where he allowed five runs against the Toronto Blue Jays. Peterson’s history with the Phillies includes a 5.30 ERA across eight appearances.
As the series concludes, the Phillies are poised to capitalize on their recent upswing, underscored by strategic plays and clutch hitting, against a formidable but challenged Mets squad.
