With Alonso standing on second, the stage was set for New York’s veteran sparkplug, Starling Marte. Making only part-time appearances this season as he adjusts to his role as designated hitter following offseason roster shifts, Marte showcased why he remains one of baseball’s most dangerous hitters.

Down 3-2 in the bottom of the 10th inning after Edwin Diaz gave up an RBI single to Nick Castellanos in the top, Pete Alonso evened the score with an RBI double off Jordan Romano. With two outs, Starling Marte hit a line drive to center field to score Alonso, and the Mets walked off with a 4-3 win to sweep the Philadelphia Phillies.

“It was marvelous,” Starling Marte said through an interpreter after his walk-off RBI single in the 10th inning sent the Mets to a 4-3 victory and three-game sweep of the Phillies at Citi Field. The homestand sweep was only the second of at least seven games in franchise history. Overall, the Mets are 12-1 at Citi Field this season.
