The Mets won a game! After losing the first three games in September to the Astros, the Mets took a step back in the right direction yesterday afternoon against the Phillies. The Mets jumped out to a 10-0 lead but as the game went on the Phillies started to evaporate it. Eventually Ramos shut the door and the Mets won 11-7. Highlight of the game: Lagares making a catch running through pigeons who made their home in the outfield.
