After a thrilling, ninth-inning comeback against the Brewers on Thursday night, the Mets have a date in Philadelphia.
New York was held scoreless for eight innings. In the ninth, they trailed 2-0 and were down to their final two outs. But a three-run home run by Pete Alonso gave them the lead, and they tacked on an insurance run.
Final score: Mets 4 - Brewers 2.
