Good morning, Mets fans!
The Phillies jumped out to a 4-0 lead in Game 2 of the NLDS against the Braves, but Atlanta stormed back to take a 5-4 lead thanks to a couple of two-run homers by Travis d’Arnaud and Austin Riley. The game ended with Michael Harris II robbing Nick Castellanos of a game-tying extra-base hit and Bryce Harper getting doubled off at first base. The series resumes Wednesday night in Philadelphia.
