Left fielder Matt Vierling threw out the all-star star Starling Marte at the plate to end the ninth and the Philadelphia Phillies capitalized, and defeated the New York Mets 2-1 in 10 innings Friday night for their 11th win in 13 games, snapping the Mets six game winning streak.
In the 10th, Alec Bohm hit a sacrifice fly for the go-ahead run.
The Mets loss included Jeff McNeil and Eduardo Escobar to early injuries. McNeil exited after grounding out in the second with a right thumb laceration and Escobar departed with left side tightness running down the line.
The Mets(73-40) lead the NL East and the Phillies(63-49) are second in the wild-card race, are 9 1/2 games behind New York with the Braves (67-46) in between them.
Max Scherzer struck out six and allowed three of his nine hits in the opening inning when the Phillies scored their first run on Bohm’s RBI single, but was matched by Ranger Suarez, as the Philadelphia hurler went seven innings of one run ball on three hits and k’d four with the lone New York run coming on a Mark Cahna sac fly. Jose Alvarado and Seranthony Dominguez helped keep the Amazins in check helping send the contest to extras before David Robertson recorded the save in the 10th.
