Edwin Díaz blew his third save of the season, but the New York Mets still snapped a three-game skid with a 6-5 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in 11 innings on Thursday night at Citizens Bank Park.
Bryson Stott tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a single off Díaz. After neither team scored in the 10th, J.D. Martinez gave up the Mets the lead in the 11th with an RBI single and later scored on a wild pitch to make it a 6-4 game. The Phillies plated one in the home half, but Jake Diekman closed it out.
Pete Alonso cranked his 10th home run of the season to open the scoring. Brett Baty drove in a run with a double, while Harrison Bader had a game-tying single in the eighth. Jose Quintana allowed two runs in 5.1 innings.
The Mets will head to Miami for a three-game series against the Marlins, which begins Friday at 7:10 p.m.
