- Philadelphia Phillies. Instant classic in Philadelphia but Mets dropped Game 2 despite making history
- MLB Playoffs. Mets and Yankees break a 24-year mark: win for the first time on the same day in a playoff game
Nick Castellanos ripped a winning two-out single off Tylor Megill that scored Trea Turner and sent the Philadelphia Phillies to a dizzying 7-6 win over the New York Mets on Sunday and evened the NL Division Series at one game apiece.
Castellanos tossed his helmet and was mobbed by teammates on the infield as a game that seemed to slip away one inning earlier turned into one more comeback for the NL East champions.
In just the second postseason game between the NL East rivals, the Mets and Phillies were pushed from pillar to post over the final four innings, each game-changing swing topped by one even more emotional.
Game 3 is Tuesday in New York, the Mets' first home game since 22 September.
"It was a really good game. Both sides. A very exciting game back and forth," Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said.
Meanwhile, New York manager Carlos Mendoza said: "Look, they're a good team, they're great hitters. That didn't happen today."
