6–2 already ran. 8–5 already ran. 6–4 already ran. This is the unused 8:10 that Saturday evening would not type.
Associated Press via ESPN and CBS Sports, Saturday night at Citi Field: Mets 10, Phillies 3. 11 hits to 9. Attendance 37,468. Game time 3:01. Carson Benge had three hits, including a homer to right (370 feet) in the second, and raised his total to 156 — one more than Pete Alonso’s 2019 Mets rookie record. The record-breaker was an RBI infield single in the eighth. He doffed his cap. Francisco Álvarez homered to right-center (387) in the fifth, Marcus Semien and Brett Baty aboard, 15th homer, and put New York ahead for good.
Andrew Painter 3–10 took the loss. J. Yan the win, per the CBS box. Alec Bohm two run-scoring singles. Bryce Harper a sacrifice fly. Phillies 85–70, entered Saturday tied with the Cubs and Padres for the three National League wild cards, five games ahead of Arizona. Mets 71–84. Braves 6–2, Pirates 8–5, Reds 6–4, Pirates 7–4, Phillies 3–0, Dodgers 8–2, and White Sox 3–1 already ran. RHP Jonah Tong (2–1, 3.43) vs LHP Cristopher Sánchez (17–6, 2.93) Sunday; rain is forecast. A forecast is not a final. We will not invent it.
What this means for you
If you needed Friday night in Houston, that file exists. If you needed Sunday morning’s unused sports wire, it is 10–3 and 156, not tonight’s first pitch.
Bottom line: 10–3. 156. Not 6–2. Not Sunday’s score.
