00:00At Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, the New York Mets play the Philadelphia Phillies.

00:1015 games to go in the regular season and probably the worst time for Francisco Lindor to be

00:15banged up.

00:16Fortunately, it doesn't appear to be too serious.

00:18Last night, he decided too late to think about sliding a second, so he went in standing,

00:23wrenched his back as he came across the bag, came out an inning later with a sore back.

00:28Not in the starting lineup today for only the second time this season, but he is expected

00:33to be available off the bench.

00:35That means that 22-year-old Luis Angel Acuna called up today, will start at shortstop and

00:40bat ninth.

00:41You know, it's always difficult making that transition to the major leagues, but to do

00:45it in the middle of a pennant race with 15 games to go, replacing one of the best players

00:49in the game and doing it as the younger brother of one of the best players in the game, it's

00:54got to be an extra special burden.

00:57Alexander Colby Allard for the Philz.

00:59Two and 0, 3.50 ERA, five innings, last two outings, and he throws five pitches.

01:03He'll challenge these guys.

01:04Jose Iglesias leads off for the first time as a Mets, flies one to shallow left, late

01:09start in for Marsh, and he dives, he can't make the catch.

01:12Iglesias takes the turn and a hold on it for his base.

01:15Marsh got stuck in place for the longest time, but that ball confused Marsh and the Mets

01:21going to lead off baserunner.

01:22Well, that'll bring Mark Vientos to the plate.

01:243-2 on the way, swing and a miss, boy, a third straight change-up, and Vientos down on strikes.

01:30Brandon Nimmo next, next pitch, swing and a miss.

01:34So back-to-back strikeouts as Colby Allard gets Vientos and now Nimmo.

01:39The back-to-back two-out walks load him up for Marte.

01:42Three and two, two down, 30th pitch of the inning, and Marte takes ball four and enforces

01:46in the first run of the game.

01:48Three consecutive two-out walks by Colby Allard, and the Mets have a 1-0 lead.

01:54Luis Severino today.

01:55Severino is just trying to continue what the Mets' starting pitchers have been doing all

02:00of the month of September, ERA under two.

02:03Carl Schwarber extended his hitting streak to 10 games by going one for three last night,

02:08and he strikes out.

02:09Schwarber on three pitches going up out of the strike zone at 97, one down.

02:14So one away, Trey Turner coming up.

02:16Turner 0-3 last night.

02:18Starts the day third in the National League in batting at .296, and he goes down swinging.

02:23Six pitches, two strikeouts for Severino, two-thirds of Immaculate.

02:27Bryce Harper will be the batter.

02:30And he strikes out Harper with the slider, and Severino strikes out the side in the first

02:35inning.

02:36Here's Jose Iglesias, elevated to the leadoff spot for the first time this year.

02:40And Iglesias is going to go two for two often with this ball hit to the gap, Stevenson cutting

02:45it off, but not before Iglesias gets into second.

02:47Are they not allowed to slide at second?

02:49We'll be looking at this to see whether or not he might have stepped off the base.

02:55Right foot on, slip off.

02:57Comes off at some point.

02:58Maybe.

02:59How about that?

03:00I'll be darned.

03:01Boy, great catch.

03:02Down to the video room.

03:03Two men away.

03:04And the batter will be J.T.

03:05Rionuto.

03:06And it's on the outside corner.

03:07Fastball dotted away.

03:08And Severino's got his fourth strike.

03:10So first and third now for the Mets.

03:11And Pete Alonso coming up.

03:12A chance to drive in some runs.

03:13Table set for Alonso.

03:14Pulls one on the ground.

03:15Diving stop by Clemens.

03:16His only play is to first.

03:17And it gets away.

03:18Breaking for the plate now is Vientos.

03:19And he will score.

03:20And it's 2-0 New York.

03:21Cody Clemens made a great stop defensively, but could not complete it with the long catch.

03:22And it's on the outside corner.

03:23Fastball dotted away.

03:24And Severino's got his fourth strikeout.

03:25Two perfect innings under his belt.

03:26So first and third now for the Mets.

03:27And Pete Alonso coming up.

03:29Table set for Alonso.

03:30Pulls one on the ground.

03:34And he will score.

03:35And it's 2-0 New York.

03:36Cody Clemens made a great stop defensively, but could not complete it with the long throw.

03:37And Vientos scores on the throwing error by Clemens.

03:38And the Mets poised to have a big inning here.

03:39But Martinez unable to get a run in from third.

03:40And now it's on Marte who drew the bases loaded.

03:41Walked to bring in the first Met run.

03:42And Marte lines one.

03:43Past the glove of Stott.

03:44Into right center for a base hit.

03:45Nemo is in.

03:46Alonso on his way to third.

03:47Marte digging for second.

03:48They're waving pieces.

03:50And the relay throw by Stott to the plate is not in time.

03:51Two runs score.

03:52And the Mets lead it 4-0.

03:53Marte with a 2-1 triple to give the Mets a 4-0 edge.

03:54So eight up and eight down for Severino.

03:55Cal Stevenson batting ninth in the order.

03:56Severino's 2-1.

03:57And there's the run.

03:58And the Mets lead it 4-0.

03:59And now it's on Marte who drew the bases loaded.

04:17So eight up and eight down for Severino.

04:18Cal Stevenson batting ninth in the order.

04:19Severino's 2-1.

04:20And there's a liner in the center.

04:21There's the first base hit of the game.

04:22For the Phillies.

04:23After that of Cal Stevenson.

04:24Schwarber struck out his first time.

04:251-2 coming.

04:26And he rolls over one down to first.

04:27Easy play for Alonso.

04:28And that retires his side.

04:29Luis Severino in control.

04:30The Mets have given him a 4-0 lead.

04:40Yeah.

04:41And his job right now is to keep it there.

04:42Try to go as many innings as you can without giving up anything.

04:45That one walk around to face his old mates.

04:47It's all for Acuna as well.

04:48This is his second major league at bat.

04:50Looking for his first hit.

04:51It's Acuna up the middle.

04:53And it's going to go through for his first major league hit.

04:56Luis Angel Acuna bouncing one through the middle.

04:59And they'll save that baseball for the trophy case.

05:02A memory for Acuna today.

05:04Congratulations.

05:05One you'll remember.

05:07Harper won for three last night with a double in the first inning.

05:10Harper swings.

05:11Hits one in the air to left.

05:12Pretty deep.

05:13Nemo looking up.

05:14And that ball is gone.

05:15And the drought is over for Bryce Harper.

05:18And the Phillies are on the board.

05:20Harper's 27th of the season.

05:2230 games without.

05:24But Harper with a home run today.

05:26And it's 4-1.

05:27Average is climbing.

05:28But this is just a great swing by Bryce.

05:32And he stays on that thing and smokes one to left to get the Phillies on the board.

05:36Turner with the walk ahead of Harper.

05:38That's now.

05:39One big swing here from Bryce.

05:41And we've got ourselves a game.

05:43And here it comes.

05:44It's swung on.

05:45Hit deep right field.

05:46And that one is going to make it a one-run game.

05:48Bryce Harper delivers his second home run of the afternoon.

05:52A two-run shot.

05:54Number 28.

05:55It's a 4-3 Mets lead.

05:5739th career home run against the Mets.

06:00All alone.

06:01The most of any active player.

06:03Now they're getting into it.

06:05This is what Bryce Harper can do.

06:08Electrify a crowd with one swing of the bat.

06:11Danny Young does come on for the bottom of the seventh to start the inning.

06:144-3 Met lead over Philly.

06:16And back-to-back soft singles.

06:18But sometimes you need it.

06:20And the Phillies with their first two men on here to start the seventh.

06:24I've got to believe that Morris,

06:25who's under 200 batting average against left-handers,

06:28is going to bunt here.

06:30Wanted toward the third base side.

06:31Young's got it.

06:32Spins.

06:33Throws to first.

06:34And it is in time.

06:35Iglesias held it.

06:37And now time has called.

06:38Iglesias received that throw from Young into the runner.

06:42Somehow he made the catch.

06:44Now the Mets are holding on to a 4-3 lead.

06:48Reid Garrett has just been summoned from the bullpen.

06:50Tying in go-ahead runs in scoring position.

06:53And Stevenson, who is one for two on the day.

06:569-07 OPS this year at AAA Lehigh Valley.

06:593-2 on the way.

07:01He swings and drives it down to the right field corner.

07:03And that ball is off the wall.

07:05And the Phillies have the lead.

07:07Stevenson racing around second.

07:09He'll put the brakes on there.

07:11Throws his hands in the air.

07:13And Stevenson has given the Phillies a 5-4 lead.

07:17What an at-bat for Cal Stevenson.

07:19Now this is more like it.

07:21This is more like it.

07:23As the Phillies now with a one-run lead here.

07:25And Hoffman into his 63rd game of the season.

07:28Swung on.

07:29Hit high in the air.

07:30Center field.

07:31It's deep.

07:32Off the track.

07:33At the wall.

07:34He leaps.

07:35Oh!

07:36And he got it!

07:37It's the Cal Stevenson game.

07:38Are you kidding me?

07:39Have yourself an afternoon, young man.

07:41Oh, my.

07:42Highway robbery.

07:44Taking a game-tying home run away from J.D. Martinez.

07:48Jeff Hoffman, of course, like, oh, man, you saved me right there.

07:52So, two out.

07:54J.T. Real Muto will be the better.

07:57Send the first pitch to J.T.

07:58Swings at that.

07:59Line drives.

08:00Center field.

08:01He's not going to get it.

08:02It's going to one-hop the wall.

08:03Here comes Castellanos around third.

08:05He's going to score.

08:06And it's an RBI double for J.T. Real Muto.

08:09It's 6-4, Phillies.

08:11That is huge.

08:13How about the two-out RBIs by the fight in Philz today?

08:16Been huge.

08:18All but one of the runs.

08:19Scoring with two outs.

08:21Carlos Estevez will try to finish this one off.

08:23And what a comeback it would be for the Philz, who were down 4-0 early.

08:27And Estevez, the fourth man out of the bullpen today.

08:30And, John, what a job by the bullpen thus far.

08:32Five scoreless innings of relief.

08:35Luis Angel Acuna will lead it off for the Mets.

08:39Left line to the right.

08:40Center field.

08:41A base hit for Acuna.

08:42And the Mets have the leadoff man on to the ninth.

08:45How about that?

08:46Luis Angel Acuna in his big league debut has two hits.

08:50And a huge one there to get the tying run to the plate in the ninth.

08:53Well, the Mets are down to their final out.

08:55Acuna's run doesn't matter.

08:56It's all about the guy on the plate.

08:58Tying run.

08:59Brandon Nemo.

09:00Oak two on the way.

09:01Ground ball.

09:02Pass to Estevez.

09:03But Turner has it.

09:04Throws to first.

09:05And the ball game's over.

09:06And what a comeback today for the Phillies.

09:08Down four early.

09:10But they rally to win it.

09:11Six-four.

09:12And the magic number is down to seven.

09:14Just a terrific ball game.

09:16A tough loss for the Mets.

09:18A big win for the Phillies.
