Maybe it was a good thing for the Phillies that Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom left Friday’s game after seven innings. He was dominating, striking out 10 batters.
Two innings after he departed, the Phillies took advantage of the situation against closer Edwin Diaz and defeated New York, 7-2, at Citi Field. It was the Phillies’ sixth straight victory over the Mets.
The score was tied at 2 entering the ninth inning when the Mets went to Diaz, who is having the worst season of his young career. J.T. Realmuto started the inning off by hitting a double down the left-field line. Jay Bruce followed and singled to center field, scoring Realmuto with the go-ahead run.
