It was a quiet duel until Philadelphia found room to move. The Phillies defeated the New York Mets behind Aaron Nola's scoreless start and a pitching performance that never let New York settle in.

Nola set the tone with command and efficiency, working through the seventh while allowing little damage. Philadelphia's bullpen then protected the lead, with Jhoan Duran closing the door.
The breakthrough came in the fifth, when Bryce Harper singled on a ground ball to shortstop Francisco Lindor and Brandon Marsh scored. Luis Arraez's sacrifice fly brought Trea Turner home in the seventh, and Justin Crawford's sacrifice fly sent Bryson Stott across in the eighth.
Nolan McLean kept the Mets within reach through the middle innings, but New York's offense could not answer after Harper's go-ahead single. The Mets managed only scattered opportunities against Nola and the Philadelphia relievers.
Philadelphia extended its winning streak, while New York's losing streak continued. The game stayed defined by the same quiet duel that shaped it from the start: Nola created the margin, and the bullpen preserved it.
