Overview

  • Francisco Lindor hit two home runs, including a three-run shot in the seventh inning, to lead the Mets past the Phillies in the series opener.
  • Tylor Megill delivered a dominant performance, striking out 10 batters over 5 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing just one hit.
  • The Mets have now won five straight games and improved their home record to 10-1, tied for the second-best start in franchise history at Citi Field.
  • The game marked a continuation of the Mets-Phillies rivalry, reignited after New York eliminated Philadelphia from the 2024 playoffs in the NLDS.
  • Juan Soto, still finding his rhythm, went 0-for-4 but remains optimistic about his progress after a strong weekend performance against the Cardinals.
