Phillies score a victory, shutting out Mets in the initial game of their series (video)
The Mets faced the Phillies in a close game last night, with the score ending 1-0 in favour of Philadelphia. The series continues on Tuesday.
The game was scheduled for 6:45 p.m., and both teams put up a good fight. Sean Manaea started for the Mets, while Ranger Suárez took the mound for the Phillies.
Manaea, a professional pitcher born on February 1, 1992, in Valparaiso, Indiana, had a career ERA of 4.08 heading into the game. In 2025, he had a 5.76 ERA over 11 games. Suárez, on the other hand, has been a reliable pitcher for the Phillies this season.
Despite a stellar performance by rookie Nolan McLean, who limited the Phillies to one run across 5.1 innings, allowing seven hits and three walks but managing five strikeouts, the Mets struggled to score. McLean suffered his first career loss in the game.
The Mets could only manage three hits in the game, with Pete Alonso and Mark Vientos reaching base in the ninth inning. However, the team's struggles in tight contests continued as they dropped 11 of their last 13 one-run games.
In the ninth inning, Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez struck out to end the Mets' rally, with Alvarez chasing pitches well out of the zone. Meanwhile, Aaron Nola pitched six scoreless innings for the Phillies, scattering three hits with two walks and striking out seven.
Gregory Soto, Brooks Raley, and Ryan Helsley combined for 2.2 shutout innings for the Phillies to secure the victory.
