The New York Mets defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 in an 11-inning game on Thursday night, avoiding a home-and-home sweep. Despite another blown save by Edwin Díaz, the Mets managed to secure the win with two runs in the 11th inning. The Phillies, who have the best record in baseball at 31-14, showed resilience but ultimately fell short. Alec Bohm and Kyle Schwarber contributed with RBI doubles for the Phillies, while Joey Lucchesi struggled with walks, adding to the Mets' starters' MLB-high total. The game saw an early exit from Taijuan Walker.
A matchup with Zack Wheeler tonight wasn't exactly the remedy for the Nationals' slumping lineup. https://t.co/g4z9jkuamO

Orioles use two big innings and solid start from Means to defeat Mariners 9-2 https://t.co/FCztTGtZ7p #orioles
Through 7.1 innings, #Rays LH Tyler Alexander retired all 22 #BlueJays batters he has faced. It certainly did not have the feel of any no-hitter or perfect game that I have attended. Then a Danny Jansen bloop single mercifully ends the bid.

The contrast between the starting pitchers Friday at Wrigley Field could not have been more vast. Pittsburgh Pirates fireballer Paul Skenes easily cut through the Cubs lineup while veteran right-hander Kyle Hendricks struggled against the Pirates offense. https://t.co/lWr0u3YENz
#Phillies 4, Nationals 2: Zack Wheeler pitched into the eighth inning. Alec Bohm drove in another first-inning run. The Phillies still haven't lost back-to-back games since April 23-24. They are 32-14.
The @Phillies have won 17 of 21 and haven’t lost consecutive games in more than 3 weeks! https://t.co/57VrBovX89
Phillies 4, Nationals 2. The Phillies have not lost consecutive games in 24 days. Zack Wheeler was strong in 7 1/3 innings. It took 2 hours, 15 minutes. The Phillies are 32-14.
Six innings in... and the #BlueJays have not reached base against Tyler Alexander, who has only thrown 70 pitches. They just can't let this happen right now. Not with how this season is going.
Another good one for John Means as Jacob Webb will pitch the 7th. Means - 6 IP, 6 hits, 2 R-ER, 0 BB, 4 strikeouts, 1 homer on 95/60. Has 3-start ERA of 3.06. Provides O's their 18th quality start of year.

Chris Bassitt takes the mound for the Blue Jays. 🔸Coming off a start where he limited the red-hot Phillies to two runs on three hits over 6 1/3 innings. 🔸Historically great against Rays - limiting them to a .209 xBA and a .360 xSLG.

Worst part about that ugly loss for the Mets is the Phillies made about as many mistakes defensively. But they got big hits to cash in while the Mets, as usual, did not. And the walks virus continues to spread. Cost Lucchesi badly and added to starters' MLB-high total.
