Overview
- The Phillies’ magic number remains 1 after a 10-3 loss to Kansas City and the Mets’ 5-2 walk-off win over Texas.
- Salvador Perez drove in five runs, including a three-run homer in the sixth, as Kansas City overturned an early 2-0 deficit.
- Kyle Schwarber hit his NL-leading 52nd homer and J.T. Realmuto also went deep, but Aaron Nola allowed six runs in six innings and was tagged for two more homers.
- Pete Alonso’s three-run homer in the 10th snapped New York’s eight-game skid, preventing a division-clinching scenario in Philadelphia.
- The Phillies can clinch the NL East with a win against the Dodgers on Monday or any Mets loss, with recent surge contributions from trade additions Harrison Bader and Jhoan Durán and seeding for a potential first-round bye still in play.
