Alec Bohm hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning, sending the playoff-bound Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-1 victory over the New York Mets.
Alec Bohm rounds the bases after hitting a home run against the New York Mets during their game at Citi Field on October 01, 2023 in New York City. Alec Bohm hit a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning, sending the playoff-bound Philadelphia Phillies to a 9-1 victory Sunday in Buck Showalter’s final game as New York Mets manager.
Brandon Marsh homered and finished with four RBIs for the Phillies , who won four more games than a season ago, when they qualified as the final National League wild card before reaching the World Series. Bryson Stott, Johan Rojas and Garrett Stubbs each had RBI hits, and Bohm also had a sacrifice fly.
For the Mets, the day began with Showalter concluding his pregame news conference by saying he was told the team was "going to go in a different direction with the manager next year." New York plans to introduce David Stearns as president of baseball operations on Monday. "He’s an unbelievable manager," Mets first baseman Pete Alonso said. "I think he’s a great mentor and I think that he does a great job of understanding his personnel, not just their talents and what they do day to day on the field. I think that he understands how they tick and how each guy ticks on the roster as an individual."
The Mets boosted their payroll to a record $355 million on opening day, but wound up dealing Verlander, Max Scherzer and several other veterans ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline.
