After getting to the National League Championship Series last season and signing Juan Soto this offseason, the Mets appear focused on making their first trip to the World Series since 2015. They also appear to be one of the few teams that can challenge the reigning champion Los Angeles Dodgers, and they are doing all this without Frankie Montas and Sean Manaea in the starting rotation.

Francisco Lindor went 2-for-4 in the win while Soto was 1-for-4 and Pete Alonso was 1-for-5 with an RBI. Bret Baty also went 1-for-2 with two RBIs in the victory and Max Kranick earned the win on the mound. He's now 2-0 with a 2.81 ERA.

Both the Mets and Phillies will be off on Thursday before starting new weekend matchups on Friday. The Phillies will be in Chicago to take on the red-hot Cubs at 2:20 p.m. ET while the Mets will travel to Washington to take on the Nationals at 6:45 p.m. ET.

Kodai Senga will kick off the series on the mound for New York.
