Herro, Zero, and the inside full pitch from the Mets' 5-1 win over the Phillies in Saturday's National League Game 1:
hero
In the game-changing, five-run eighth inning, several batters went wide, but Mark Vientos' two-strike single over left tied the game and provided the first hope.
zero
Phillies All-Star Jeff Hoffman, who posted a 2.17 ERA this year, watched as Zach Wheeler pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and a walk and scoring three runs.
The unsung hero
David Peterson bounced back from the start of the returning Kodai Chiga, took over from the third inning, pitched three scoreless innings, and began a dominant run out of the Mets' bullpen.
Main status
1: Mets hit until the 8th inning. Things quickly changed, and the Mets had seven more knocks in the final two innings.
