Bryce Harper and Castellanos allowed the Phillies to tie the game 3-3 in the sixth inning. To do this, they hit long balls one after the other.
In their next turn at bat, the Mets regained the lead thanks to Brandon Nimmo. The Philadelphia club, however, rolled up its sleeves in the eighth to give itself a first lead. Bryson Stott and JT Realmuto were the authors of these points.
