Duran allowed four straight singles, including Brandon Nimmo's game-winning hit. The Phillies have lost their last nine games at Citi Field, including last year's playoffs.

Orion Kerkering entered and was greeted rudely as Pete Alonso laced a go-ahead two-run double into the left-center gap, the scorching hot Mark Vientos lined an RBI single the other way, and Brandon Nimmo lifted a sacrifice fly to cap off a five-run inning.

After Trae Turner’s single put runners at the corners with two outs, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza lifted Manaea in favor of fellow left-hander Gregory Soto. But Soto walked the lefty-swinging Kyle Schwarber to load the bases, then surrendered a two-run single to Bryce Harper, who also bats left-handed.
