The Mets offense came back last night as they tagged the Phillies for 9 runs in a game that was quite back and forth until the end. Conforto was the star of the night recording 6 RBIs including a homer to bring him to 26 on the season. The Mets failed to get Jacob deGrom a win on Sunday but they can help him by tagging Aaron Nola tonight.
