The Philadelphia Phillies faced a disappointing end to their postseason, reminiscent of their own playoff experiences from 2022. This time, they were the favorites but fell to the New York Mets, who showcased timely hitting and strong pitching.

Despite having opportunities, the Phillies struggled to capitalize, with key players failing to deliver in crucial moments. Francisco Lindor's grand slam sealed the Phillies' fate, marking their second consecutive early exit from the playoffs.
