On his birthday, Bryson Stott hit a two-run triple off Edwin Díaz in the eighth inning, giving the Philadelphia Phillies a 5-4 lead over the New York Mets in the National League Division Series. The clutch hit electrified the crowd at Citizens Bank Park during 'Red October'. The Phillies added an insurance run when Mark Vientos mishandled a ground ball, extending the lead to 6-4. Despite earlier efforts by Díaz to maintain the Mets' lead with a critical strikeout, the Phillies rallied late in the game.
