“#Mets offense comes alive in doubleheader sweep of Phillies<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

A pulse could be detected from this Mets lineup over the final eight innings Tuesday, spanning two game<\/a>s, and that carried the day.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Villar delivered a walk-off hit in Game 1 and Brandon Nimmo produced generously in the nightcap, allowing the Mets to celebrate a doubleheader sweep of the Phillies in front of 7,611 at Citi Field.<\/p>\n

The Mets won 4-3 in eight innings in the first game before taking the nightcap, 4-0.<\/p>\n

Nimmo reached base five times in the two games. In the nightcap, he finished 3-for-4 with three RBIs in raising his OPS to 1.146.<\/p>\n

Marcus Stroman\u2019s gem in Game 2 gave the Mets consecutive victories for the first time this season. Stroman, who threw only nine pitches Sunday before his start against the Marlins was suspended by rain, fired six shutout innings, in which he allowed four hits. That followed a strong start by Stroman last week in Philadelphia, in which he allowed one earned run over six innings.<\/p>\n

In the nightcap, the Mets got busy against Aaron Nola in the fourth inning, when Game 1 hero Villar delivered an RBI double before Nimmo\u2019s two-run single extended the lead to 3-0. Nimmo drove in another run in the sixth with a single after Tomas Nido\u2019s first career trip<\/a>le.<\/p>\n

Jeff McNeil started the rally in the fourth by reaching on an infield single. He barely beat the throw to first and the Phillies challenged the call, but it was upheld on replay.<\/p>\n

Villar slashed an eighth-inning RBI single against Hector Neris in the first game to complete a wild Mets comeback.<\/p>\n

Pete Alonso\u2019s RBI single in the eighth tied it \u2014 Francisco Lindor was on second base as the runner to begin the frame, per the extra-inning rule (doubleheaders are seven innings per game) \u2014 before Villar ended it with a shot to left field.<\/p>\n
