New York Mets Register 7-Run Comeback to Snap 25-Year Streak Against the Philadelphia Phillies
The New York Mets have emerged as a superpower this season. Under the guidance of visionary manager Buck Showalter, the Mets have been phenomenal. It seems like the day Steve Cohen bought the Mets, their fate changed.
They are the only MLB side to not lose a series this season. After having a brilliant free agency ahead of the 2022 season, the Mets suffered an enormous setback when their starting pitcher Jacob deGrom got injured. But this did not affect their mindset and game, as they won the opening day game against the Washington Nationals.
Now, they have done a near-impossible job in their recent game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This Buck Showalter-led team just does not give up, regardless of the current situation. The Mets made their biggest ninth-inning comeback against the Phillies.
New York Mets stage historic comeback against the Phillies
The Mets are playing their ninth series of the 2022 season, and they are yet to lose any series this season. The New York Mets pulled off a miraculous comeback against the Philadelphia Phillies and stunned the baseball world in their recent game.
At once, the Mets were trailing by six runs to the Phillies. To overcome such a big lead that too in the ninth inning, indeed, needs a magical performance. And that is literally what the Mets did. They scored seven runs in the ninth inning to win the game and register their name in the MLB history.
Before this game, the Mets had lost on 330 occasions over the last 25 years where they trailed by six or more runs in the last moments. This performance from the Mets was not a fluke. Instead, it shows the winning mentality of their players.
The Mets score 7 runs in the top of the 9th to come back and beat the Phillies.

After this historic win, the Mets manager reacted hilariously. He said that he was involved in too many other things, going on to start cheerleading, but he felt like it.

With 19 wins out of 28 games, the Mets are donning the NL East. If things go this way, it will not be a surprise if they have their hands on the silverware by the end of this season.
