Juan Soto's Homer Leads Mets to 6-3 Win that Keeps Phillies From Taking over Top NL Wild-Card Spot

- On Friday, the New York Mets snapped a five-game losing streak by defeating the Philadelphia Phillies 6-3, with Juan Soto hitting a three-run homer. The victory prevented Philadelphia from gaining ground in the National League wild-card race.
- Philadelphia Phillies opener Tim Mayza allowed three runs on three hits while recording just one out in the first inning. The Mets capitalized immediately with a three-run first, taking a lead they never relinquished.
- Claimed off waivers from the Chicago White Sox on Thursday, Jose Urquidy tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in his Phillies debut. Mets starter Zac Thornton allowed two runs over six innings to earn the win.
- Despite Edmundo Sosa finishing 3-for-3 with a home run, the Phillies missed a chance to snap a tie with the Chicago Cubs for the top wild-card spot. The Cubs suffered a 6-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
- The Mets will retire the No. 15 jersey worn by Hall of Fame center fielder Carlos Beltran on Saturday. RHP Christian Scott will then oppose Phillies RHP Andrew Painter in the next game.
