It amounts to a sweep of the brief two-game series (Monday's rainout has been rescheduled for later in the year) and moves the Mets to 4-1 on the young season.
The Mets (3-1) and Phillies (1-3) wrap this series Wednesday afternoon at 1:10, a game that will not be televised, but rather streamed on Facebook LIVE.
Before we get into the New York Mets specifically, it's interesting to note that for the first time since the late 60's, all 30 MLB teams will start the season on the same day. And, the opener will come in March.
