Having played more than six series, the Mets are yet to lose any series this season. When the regular season started, the Mets suffered a huge setback with the injury of their key players Jacob deGrom, and Max Scherzer. But who knew that this team will go on to create history in the current season without their starting pitcher by their side.

This Buck Showalter-led team has been on a roll this season. First, they lost their starting pitcher right before the opening day game, and then their hitters faced some injury-threatening nasty pitches from opposition pitchers. But all of this did not affect their performance.

With 15 strikeouts and no hits in his 88 pitches, Tylor Megill was the hero for the New York Mets on Friday. he pitched for five innings, and still no Phillies could hit him. Later, Drew Smith, Joely Rodriguez, Seth Lugo, and Edwin Diaz did the rest for the Mets. They completed their innings without a single hit against the Phillies.

Ultimately, the Mets won the game 3-0 against the Phillies. If they win the second game on Saturday, they will win their seventh consecutive series this season.
