Anderson grounds out 5-3. Two out.
Joe Panik bats.
In 2007 there was that amazing late series with the Mets in late August, four-game sweep at home that took us from 6 GB to 2GB. But we were back to 6.5 before a three-game sweep in Queens in mid-September.
I was thinking along the lines of the last two weeks of that month when the Phillies kept winning and the Mets kept faltering.
Panik pops out to third to end the inning. We go to the ninth with the Marlins leading 4-1. Alonso, Smith and Davis due up for New York.
Anthony Bender in to try to save it for the Marlins.
Alonso reaches on an error by Rojas.
Smith lines out to Chisolm, one out.
Davis walks. Two on, one out for Conforto.
Baez up.
Beaz strikes out for 5th time today
Baez goes down swinging!
Conforto is the Mets last hope!
Anderson botches ball at 3rd, bases loaded. Here comes McCann.
Infield hit. Bases loaded. Two outs. McCann up. Pinch hitter Brandon Drury replaces him.

Finally over. Marlins win 4-2.
Groundout 4-3. Marlins win! Phillies now only trail by one game!
Mets lose 3/4 to the lowly Marlins. Let's take advantage!
From Aug 13th through Aug 26th, the Mets have 13 straight games against the Dodgers and Giants
Time for the Phillies to put up 5 runs in the first inning and for Nola to rebound from his last start.
