Trevor May (2-0) earned the win in relief. Edwin Diaz allowed one run in the ninth but still earned his 28th save in 31 chances.

Jean Segura had put the Phillies ahead 8-7 in the bottom of the eighth with a pinch-hit solo home run. After Jeff McNeil led off the ninth with a double, Canha smacked his 10th homer of the season to put the Mets up 9-8 before Nimmo’s shot made it 10-8.

Kyle Tucker’s RBI single drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning to help rally visiting Houston to a win over Atlanta to salvage one game of the three-game series between last year’s World Series contestants.

Tucker, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a single in the sixth inning, lined a single off reliever Dylan Lee (3-1) to right field to drive in Yordan Alvarez. Tucker took second when Guillermo Heredia bobbled the ball and was charged with an error. Jeremy Pena followed with a sacrifice fly.

Houston starter Jose Urquidy (12-4) went seven innings for the third time in his last four starts. He allowed two runs on five hits, two walks and six strikeouts. Atlanta starter Charlie Morton pitched six innings against his former team and allowed two runs on five hits, two walks and 11 strikeouts. — Field Level Media
