Introduction
The Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 6-2 on Sunday evening at Citizens Bank Park, winning the three-game series.
費城費城人在週日晚上於公民銀行球場以 6-2 擊敗紐約大都會，贏得這場三場系列賽。
Main Body
The game started with an early advantage for Philadelphia, who took a 2-0 lead in the first inning. This happened because Mets starter David Peterson gave up two walks and third baseman Brett Baty made a throwing error, which allowed Trea Turner to score. Furthermore, the lead grew in the second inning when Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run home run, making the score 5-0.
比賽開始後費城佔據優勢，在第一局就取得 2-0 領先。這是因為大都會先發投手 David Peterson 給了兩次保送，而三壘手 Brett Baty 傳球失誤，讓 Trea Turner 得分。此外，第二局 Kyle Schwarber 擊出一支三分全壘打，使比分變為 5-0，領先幅度擴大。
New York struggled to respond offensively. Although Carson Benge hit a solo home run in the third inning and the team added another run in the sixth, the Mets' progress was slowed by a baserunning mistake by Juan Soto. Meanwhile, the Phillies' pitching was very effective. Starter Zack Wheeler gave up only two runs over 5.2 innings, and the relief pitchers successfully prevented the Mets from scoring any more runs.
紐約在進攻端難以做出回應。雖然 Carson Benge 在第三局擊出一支陽春全壘打，且球隊在第六局再添一分，但大都會的進展被 Juan Soto 的跑壘失誤所拖累。與此同時，費城人的投球表現非常有效。先發投手 Zack Wheeler 在 5.2 局中僅失兩分，後援投手也成功阻止大都會得分。
On the other side, David Peterson struggled, giving up five runs over four innings. Additionally, reliever Austin Warren allowed a solo home run to Bryce Harper in the fifth inning. After the game, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza emphasized that the team would review the starting rotation because of inconsistent performances and the absence of injured players like Christian Scott and Clay Holmes.
另一方面，David Peterson 表現掙扎，四局失五分。此外，後援投手 Austin Warren 在第五局被 Bryce Harper 擊出陽春全壘打。賽後，大都會總教練 Carlos Mendoza 強調，由於表現不穩定以及 Christian Scott 和 Clay Holmes 等傷兵缺陣，球隊將重新審視先發輪候。
Conclusion
The Mets, who are currently last in the NL East, will start a four-game series against the Chicago Cubs on Monday.
大都會目前在國聯東區排名墊底，將於週一開始與芝加哥小熊進行四場系列賽。
