The New York Mets showcased their signature late-game heroics once again in Game 1 of the NL Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Trailing 1-0 after Kyle Schwarber's leadoff home run, the Mets orchestrated a remarkable comeback in the eighth inning, scoring five runs against the Phillies' All-Star relievers to secure a 6-2 victory.
Despite an unexpected start by Kodai Senga, who had been sidelined with injuries for most of the season, the Mets received a solid two-inning performance from the Japanese pitcher. Senga's efforts, combined with an outstanding bullpen display, propelled the Mets to a crucial win in the series opener.
