Plummer, making his first major league start after getting recalled from the minors Saturday, drove the first pitch from Corey Knebel -- a 96 mph fastball -- into the second deck in right field leading off the bottom of the ninth.Edwin Díaz stranded the automatic runner at second in the 10th. He was aided by a terrific defensive play at third base from Escobar, who reached way over the railing of the Philadelphia dugout to catch a foul pop.
Escobar's fifth career walk-off RBI gave the NL East leaders, who are 12-2-1 in series this year, their first sweep of the season. Zack Wheeler settled in after a tough start for the struggling Phillies, delivering six solid innings against his former team. Lindor knocked in a run with a grounder for New York, extending his career-best RBI streak to seven games. That's the longest by a Mets player since Lucas Duda did it in 2014.Philadelphia loaded the bases with nobody out against starter Chris Bassitt in the third, but mustered only one run on Alec Bohm's double-play grounder.
