The New York Mets faced a challenging defeat against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field, losing 12-2 despite an early lead. A turning point came in the fourth inning when left-hander David Peterson struggled and was replaced by Adam Ottavino, who also faltered, allowing the Phillies to score four runs in the inning.

The Mets' pitching woes continued as the Phillies capitalized, with Trea Turner and Bryce Harper key in their offensive onslaught. The defeat snapped the Mets' four-game winning streak but did not significantly impact the NL Wild Card race.
