The New York Mets continued their offensive surge with a 10-6 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, marking their third consecutive game scoring 10 runs, a franchise first. The Mets hit four home runs, including back-to-back shots from Mark Vientos and Pete Alonso, while Francisco Alvarez added a significant three-run homer. Despite a shaky performance from starting pitcher Luis Severino, who allowed three runs, the Mets' strong batting carried them to their fourth straight win and 16th in their last 20 games. This victory keeps them tied with the Arizona Diamondbacks for the NL's second wild card and two games ahead of the Atlanta Braves. The Phillies, leading the NL East, failed to clinch a playoff spot in this matchup, with their pitcher Taijuan Walker giving up a career-high four homers. Francisco Lindor sat out his fourth consecutive game due to back soreness, but rookie Luisangel Acuña contributed with an RBI triple in the seventh inning.
