Jesus Luzardo became visibly frustrated early after Juan Soto was granted extra time, and he walked Soto on an eight-pitch at-bat despite most offerings being strikes. Luzardo held the Mets scoreless through four innings but unraveled in the fifth. The Mets sent 10 batters and scored five runs in the fifth, marking their seventh inning this season with five-or-more runs. New York erased a 2-0 Phillies lead and ultimately won 6-5 when Brandon Nimmo delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth. The Mets won consecutive games and their ninth home game against Philadelphia, winning their first one-run game in a month.
Philadelphia Phillies starter Jesus Luzardo had been steaming since the second batter of the game, when Juan Soto was granted time late. Luzardo followed through with his delivery, which ended with his arms extended in exasperation as he walked toward the home plate umpire, Willie Traynor. Luzardo's early frustration was justified. He eventually walked Soto on an eight-pitch at-bat. Only one of his pitches a 97.5 mph four-seam fastball that rode high and inside was a ball.
But Luzardo unraveled in the fifth. The Mets sent 10 batters to the plate and scored five runs the seventh time this season that New York has scored five or more runs in an inning. They erased a brief 20 Phillies lead, en route to a 65 final that was capped off by Nimmo's walk-off hit in the bottom of the ninth. The Mets won their second game in a row and their ninth home contest against Philadelphia again erasing a multi-run deficit.
