Tim Healey Newsday: Mets steal NLDS Game 1 from Phillies with five-run rally in eighth. "A couple of hours into Game 1 of their NL Division Series with the Phillies, the Mets were right where they wanted to be: down by a little headed into the late innings...The Mets had one hit entering the eighth. Then they rallied for five hits and five runs off three Philadelphia relievers in that frame: All-Stars Jeff Hoffman and Matt Strahm plus Orion Kerkering."


NY Post: "Mark Vientos, Brandon Nimmo and pinch hitter J.D. Martinez each stroked an RBI single in the inning and Alonso and Starling Marte drove in the other runs with sacrifice flies."


Brian Joura Mets360: "The Phillies jumped out to an early lead, as Kyle Schwarber hit a leadoff home run against Kodai Senga. But that was the only damage they were able to do until a meaningless run in the ninth."


Tim Healey Newsday: Mets' Kodai Senga throws two solid innings in successful return. "He tossed two innings and allowed one run in the Mets’ 6-2 victory over the Phillies in the first game of the NL Division Series. After allowing a 425-foot home run to his first batter, Kyle Schwarber, he settled in to retire six of seven. Senga threw 31 pitches, allowed just that one hit, walked one and struck out three (two via forkball)." 


AP Sports: Mets and Yankees win playoff games on same day for first time in 24 years. "All five previous times the Mets and Yankees won postseason games on the same day came in 1999 and 2000. The most recent was Oct. 11, 2000, when the Yankees evened the AL Championship Series with a 7-1 victory at home over the Seattle Mariners in Game 2, and the Mets beat the Cardinals 6-2 in St. Louis to open their NL Championship Series."


NY Post: Mets’ Jeff McNeil cleared for baseball activities as potential injury return takes next step. "The Mets utilityman is scheduled to rejoin the team Sunday, following the birth of a child, and has been cleared to resume baseball activities, according to Carlos Mendoza. The manager added that McNeil has already been hitting off a tee."
