Overview

• The game was tied 3-3 in the fifth when Bohm complained about glare from a parabolic microphone after grounding into a double play, leading umpires to remove the device and halt play for about 19 minutes.
• SNY’s Gary Cohen labeled the stoppage one of the sillier delays he has seen, underscoring widespread broadcaster frustration with the episode.
• Phillies postgame analyst Ricky Bottalico criticized Bohm for the interruption, saying checks showed the same equipment has been in place since at least 2017, a point SNY also reported.
• Philadelphia surrendered 10 unanswered runs after play resumed, as starter Cristopher Sanchez faded following a strong, hitless first three innings.
• The defeat opened the series and extended the Phillies’ struggles in Queens to eight straight losses at Citi Field and 22 in their last 28 against the Mets, though Philadelphia still holds a six-game NL East lead.
