On the 3rd pitch in the bottom of the 1st inning Kyle Schwarber launched one deep into the afternoon sky to give the Phillies an early 1-0 against the Mets’ surprise starter Kodai Senga and Philadelphia ace Zack Wheeler was special preserving that lead with 7 shutout innings including 9 strikeouts. All signs pointed to the Phillies taking Game 1 of their NLDS series against the Mets…until the Top of the 8th inning. Wheeler did not come out for the 8th and the Mets said thank you responding with 5 runs. The highlight was Brandon Nimmo’s 2-run single in that frame. The teams traded runs in the 9th and Game 1 of this Best of 5 series went to the Mets by the score of 6-2.
Game 2 sets up as a must-win for Philadelphia which managed just 5 hits off of 5 Mets’ pitchers. Cristopher Sanchez gets the ball for the Phillies. The left-hander was fantastic at Citizen’s Bank Park this season winning 7 of 10 decisions while compiling a 2.21 ERA. Luis Severino takes the mound for New York. Severino battled in Game 1 of the Wild Card series and found a way to get an 8-4 win for the Mets over the Brewers.
