NEW YORK — Bryson Stott hit a leadoff homer in the ninth against All-Star closer Edwin Díaz and delivered the tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the 10th inning as the MLB-leading Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 5-4. The Phillies trailed 4-2 before Díaz gave up Stott's homer and hit Alec Bohm with a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs. Bryce Harper, the automatic runner to start the 10th, took third on a wild pitch by Sean Reid-Foley (1-1) and scored easily on Stott's long fly out to right. Orion Kerkering (1-0) threw a perfect ninth and José Alvarado earned his eighth save with a 1-2-3 ninth, stranding automatic runner DJ Stewart at second. J.D. Martinez had three hits and two RBIs for the Mets.
