José Quintana, however, did have arguably his worst start in a Mets uniform and the bullpen had some poor performances in close games in the Phillies series. It was an odd outing for Quintana on Saturday; he struck out ten batters and didn't walk any, which is an incredible ratio, but he gave up six runs (five of them earned). Reed Garrett pitched the final two innings of the game on Saturday in relief of Quintana and gave up an insurance run to the Phillies, but the Mets lost by two runs, so it did not turn out to be all that consequential to the result. Garrett also had a multiple-inning outing on Tuesday, pitching 2 1⁄3 scoreless innings in relief of Joey Lucchesi with three strikeouts to earn positive marks for the week.
Bryce Harper sparked Philadelphia's comeback from a two-run deficit by reaching 20 homers for the ninth time, leading the Phillies over the New York Mets 7-5 on Saturday for their fourth straight win. Harper had three RBIs for the defending NL champions (86-69), who are closing in on an NL wild card berth. Alec Bohm also homered as the Phillies, who opened a four-game lead over Arizona for the top wild card. Philadelphia would clinch a playoff berth Sunday with a win and a loss by either the Chicago Cubs or Miami Marlins.

Wheeler's generosity grew in the seventh, when the Mets rallied for three runs — with help by a misjudged
