NEW YORK — Jean Segura hit a two-run homer in the 10th inning and drove in a career-best five runs, bailing out the Philadelphia Phillies’ abominable bullpen to salvage a 9-8 win over the New York Mets for a four-game split.
The Mets erased a 6-0 deficit against former teammate Zack Wheeler and baseball’s worst bullpen, taking a 7-6 lead on Jeff McNeil’s three-run homer in the seventh inning.
Segura hit his fifth homer of the season with two outs in the 10th, lining a pitch from right-hander Miguel Castro over the wall in left-center.
Segura also had a three-run double in the first inning and finished with four hits and a career high in RBIs.
The Phillies will now head to Philadelphia, where they will play a doubleheader against the Red Sox on Tuesday.
Game One is set to begin today at 4:05 p.m.
