Mets lose seesaw battle with Phils on walk-off in 9th

 

The New York Mets led 3-0 and 4-3 but ultimately fell on a Nick Castellano's RBI single in the bottom of the 9th to give Philly a 7-6 win. 

Mark vientos hit a pair of home runs, including a two-run shot in the top of the ninth inning with the Mets trailing 6-4 to tie the game. 

Luis Severino pitched perfectly until the sixth inning until he gave up a two-run home run to Bryce Harper followed by a solo shot by Nick Castellano's. 

Edwin Diaz came in a high leverage situation in the seventh inning to send down the Phils and preserve a 4-3 lead that Brandon Nemo provided on his solo shot in the top of the 7th.

Diaz then imploded in the 8th inning allowing the Phillies to score three runs and grab a 6-4 advantage. 

After Vientos tied the game with his heroic 9th inning home run, Tylor Megill gave up the walk-off hit to Castelliano's to end the game.

The Amazin's return to Queens starting Tuesday to try to regain the series advantage and possibly close things out in game at Citi Field on Wednesday.
