Mets forced to settle for split of pair

N.Y. overcomes Nola’s record-tying 10 straight strikeouts in opener

Bryce Harper blew kisses at a booing crowd to punctuate his home run, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the New York Mets 2-1 in eight innings Friday night for a doubleheader split after Aaron Nola matched a longstanding major league record with 10 straight strikeouts in the opener.

Odubel Herrera drove in the tiebreaking run with a groundout against reliever Sean Reidfoley (2-1) in the eighth as both games took an extra inning to determine a winner.

Nola tied Tom Seaver’s mark for consecutive strikeouts set 51 years ago, but the Mets rallied to win the first game 2-1 in eight innings on big hits by Francisco Lindor and Dominic Smith.

Following a costly error by third baseman Alec Bohm in the bottom of the seventh, Archie Bradley (3-1) limited the damage and allowed only pinch-hitter James Mccann’s tying sacrifice fly in the nightcap.

Struggling closer Hector Neris retired Lindor, Pete Alonso and Smith with the automatic runner in scoring position for his 11th save in 16 chances. Neris struck out Smith to end it as Philadelphia’s beleaguered bullpen finally closed one out to snap a four-game slide.

Phillies left fielder Andrew Mccutchen robbed Albert Almora Jr. of an early two-run homer.

Harper hit his 11th homer on an 0-2 pitch from starter David Peterson in the sixth to put the Phillies in front 1-0. When he reached the dugout, Harper donned the team’s oversized straw HR hat and feigned kisses to agitated Mets fans, even popping back out for a few more.

Phillies starter Matt Moore allowed three hits over five scoreless innings in an encouraging return from the injured list.

New York took advantage of an embarrassing two-base error by reliever Jose Alvarado, who overthrew first base on a comebacker while clinging to a 1-0 lead in the seventh.

That led to Lindor’s tying single with two outs, and Smith won it with an RBI single off Ranger Suarez (3-2) in the eighth.

Seaver fanned his final 10 hitters for the Mets in a 2-1 victory over the San Diego Padres at Shea on April 22, 1970.

Nola also singled off the leftfield wall and doubled home Philadelphia’s run against starter Taijuan Walker.

He equaled a career high with 12 strikeouts in 51⁄3 innings of

two-hit ball.
