What happened: The Mets beat the Phillies 6-4 on the road, with New York marking the result on social media with a one-word 'Dub!' celebration. The win is New York's second in a row.
Why it matters: The result nudges the Mets to 33-41 on the season as they try to climb back into contention, and it stings a Phillies club that had been the stronger side at 40-34. Holding a four-run output to a one-run margin shows New York can win the close ones it needs against a division-tier opponent.
By the numbers: New York entered at 33-41 (4.1 runs scored, 4.3 allowed) on a 1-1 last-five split before this win; Philadelphia sat 40-34 (4.1 scored, 4.4 allowed). The Phillies had won three of their previous five.
What to watch: Watch whether the Mets can stack a third straight win and shave into the standings gap, and how Philadelphia responds after dropping a winnable home game.
