The game began with promise for the Mets as they managed to put up one run in the first inning, thanks to their hitting efforts which resulted in two hits. However, this early lead was short-lived. The fourth inning saw a dramatic turn as the Phillies capitalized on six hits to bring home six runs, marking a pivotal moment in the game. Despite these challenges, the Mets continued to strive for a comeback.


The Mets' hitters showed resilience throughout the game, accumulating ten hits and scoring another run in the fifth inning. Notably, they had four extra-base hits but struggled with runners in scoring position, converting only two out of eleven opportunities into runs. This inefficiency left eleven runners stranded on base by game's end.
