Nimmo, Mets beat Phillies 3-0 in 10

NEW YORK » Pinch-hitter Brandon Nimmo launched a threerun homer in the bottom of the 10th inning and the New York Mets got another dominant outing from All-Star Jacob deGrom in a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.

Amed Rosario, who had two of New York’s four hits, began the winning rally with a two-out double off Mark Leiter Jr. (0-1) — the first hit for the Mets since the fourth inning. Jose Reyes walked and Nimmo drove Leiter’s next pitch well over the wall in rightcenter for his first career walkoff RBIs.

It was New York’s third gameending homer in the last six days. Jose Bautista beat Tampa Bay with a grand slam last Friday, and Wilmer Flores connected

day in the series opener against Philadelphia to help the Mets earn a fourgame split.

In his final scheduled start before heading to the All-Star Game next

Tuesday in Washington, deGrom scattered five hits and matched his longest outing of the season. He struck out seven and lowered his major league-leading ERA to 1.68.

Still, the right-hander has only five wins on the season. He’s allowed just one earned run over his

last 16 innings but has consistently been hurt by a lack of run support from an anemic New York offense all year.

This time, at least, the Mets didn’t let deGrom’s gem go to waste.

Robert Gsellman (6-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.
