The Phillies lost, 9-4, at home to the Padres yesterday, and have now dropped five of seven, allowing at least nine runs in four of those setbacks. Philadelphia has allowed 9+ runs 21 times in 2015 overall -- second most of any MLB club (Rockies- 23).

The Mets beat the Red Sox, 9-5, yesterday at Citi Field, snapping their season-long five-game home losing streak in the process. New York has scored at least nine runs seven times this month -- most of any NL club.

The Mets have defeated the Phillies nine straight times, outscoring Philadelphia by a combined 68-34 during the win streak. Dating to August 31 last season, New York has taken each of the last seven meetings with the Phillies at Citi Field.

Jerad Eickhoff went 6.0 innings and allowed four runs (three earned) vs. the Mets last Wednesday, losing his first career MLB game since being called up August 21.

Whatever the New York Mets' plan is for monitoring Matt Harvey's workload, he's responding with his best pitching of the season.
The Philadelphia Phillies have allowed Aaron Nola to go deeper into his last two starts, and the results have been every bit as impressive.

Phillies-Mets Preview

NEW YORK (AP)  Just like all his (much) younger teammates, Bartolo Colon loves to face the Phillies.
Colon breezed through eight snappy innings and the New York Mets got homers from Curtis Granderson and Michael Conforto, extending their dominant run against Philadelphia with a 3-1 victory Monday night.
