The New York Mets stunned the Philadelphia Phillies with a dramatic comeback to win Game 1 of the National League Division Series (NLDS). The Mets, who managed only one hit in the first seven innings against Phillies' pitcher Zack Wheeler, rallied in the eighth inning to score five runs at Citizens Bank Park. The final score was 6-2, securing the Mets a 1-0 lead in the series and snatching away home-field advantage from the Phillies. This victory marks the Mets as just the third team in National League history to win back-to-back playoff games after trailing in the eighth inning or later.
