Jun 20, 2025; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Philadelphia Phillies infielder Bryson Stott (5) hits an RBI double against the New York Mets in the seventh inning at Citizens Bank Park. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Ross-Imagn Images Trea Turner’s RBI double snapped a tie and sparked a six-run seventh inning for the Philadelphia Phillies, who completed their surge into first place in the National League East by beating the reeling New York Mets 10-2 in the opener of a three-game series Friday.
The Phillies, who have won eight of nine, have made up a 5 1/2-game deficit on the Mets in the last eight days.
The Mets have lost seven straight by a combined 51-16. The losing streak is the longest for New York since a seven-game skid from June 2-9, 2023.
Pete Alonso and Jeff McNeil hit back-to-back homers off former teammate Taijuan Walker to tie the game in the sixth before the Phillies mounted their rally against Reed Garrett (2-3) and Justin Garza.
Garrett, who allowed just seven runs (four earned) in his first 30 outings entering Friday night, failed to retire any of the four batters he faced. Brandon Marsh and Turner opened the frame with back-to-back doubles and Kyle Schwarber walked before Alec Bohm chased Garrett with a run-scoring single.
Nick Castellanos hit Garza’s first pitch for an RBI single and Bryson Stott capped the outburst three batters later with a three-run double.
The rally made a winner of Tanner Banks (2-0), who tossed 1 2/3 perfect innings of relief.
Castellanos added a two-run homer in the eighth. He and Marsh had three hits apiece.
The Phillies went ahead 2-0 in the fourth, when Otto Kemp beat out the back end of a potential double play ball. Castellanos scored and Marsh followed with an RBI single.
Phillies starter Zack Wheeler gave up four hits and three walks while striking out eight over five scoreless innings.
Brandon Nimmo and Luis Torrens each had two hits for the Mets.
Rookie Blake Tidwell, who was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse Friday to make his second big-league start, allowed two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four over 3 2/3 innings.

How Pacers’ counterintuitive strategy shut down Thunder’s stars in NBA Finals
It’s never too late to make a change in life — or at least in the most important moment of one’s professional life.The Indiana Pacers are all about chaos. They’ve made this run to the 2025 NBA Finals by amplifying games to a blurring speed their opponents can’t control. That includes a strategy that’s rare in the NBA: A full-court press designed to wear out opposing ballhandlers.AdvertisementBut their Game 6 triumph over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday was, in one important way, a grand reveal that they are more than a one-note team.How did the Pacers solve the seemingly unsolvable problem of defending Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams? They pulled the chair on the entire Thunder offense.After several games of full-court pressure, Pacers coach Rick Carlisle took some heat off the Pacers’ approach.

Mets drop from first as losing streak reaches 7: ‘This is not good’
PHILADELPHIA — The sting of a seventh straight loss lingered in a quiet New York Mets clubhouse as Francisco Lindor tried to explain a poor stretch and his role navigating the ugly streak as a team leader.Lindor, the star shortstop who doubles as something of a de facto captain, typically offers appropriate perspective for good times and bad.AdvertisementThe most obvious example happened last year when Lindor called a players meeting with the Mets’ season on the brink. Things were different back then, in late May 2024. The Mets were below .500. The alarm bells went off early. They had to — a season needed saving.After falling 10-2 to the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night, Lindor indicated the Mets aren’t quite there this time. But the Phillies claimed first place in the National League East from the Mets for the first […]
The best two words in sports: ‘Game 7.’ Are ESPN and the NBA ready?
Ahead of a highly anticipated Game 7 of the NBA Finals on Sunday night, the Athletic’s sports media columnist Richard Deitsch connected with sports business editor Dan Shanoff to talk about the expectations and pressure — not on the teams, but on the league and its broadcast partner ESPN to deliver a great experience for fans.AdvertisementShanoff: It’s a cliche, but it’s also true — the two greatest words in sports are “Game 7.” What kind of pressure are the NBA and ESPN under to deliver a presentation that matches the moment, or is “Game 7” the kind of thing that no league or network can screw up, because it’s so inherently interesting/dramatic?Deitsch: There was a very famous monologue delivered by Al Michaels prior to the start of ABC’s coverage of the famous Miracle On Ice game:“What we have at hand, […]
