NEW YORK — Jeff McNeil hit a tiebreaking homer leading off the seventh inning, and the New York Mets beat Philadelphia 3-2 Sunday night, damaging the Phillies playoff hopes.
The Phillies blew a two-run lead and fell two games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East and 3 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals in the race for the second NL wild card.
The Mets snapped a five-game losing streak.
Philadelphia will return home to host the Baltimore Orioles, beginning tonight at 7:05 p.m.
