Philadelphia has become one of the hotter teams in the National League since Don Mattingly replaced Rob Thomson in early May after the club started 9-19. The Phillies went 37-17 under Mattingly to climb into the top NL Wild Card spot. Last night was the latest example: Trea Turner singled home Derek Hill in the 7th inning for the tiebreaker, and Hill had already robbed Juan Soto of a 2-run homer earlier in the game to keep it close. Final: 2-1 Phillies, spoiling Andy Green's managerial debut. Mattingly said of his rotation: 'Our pitching hasn't just been good. It's been crazy good.' The staff ERA since he took over has been 2.55, led by Cristopher Sanchez and Zack Wheeler.

The Mets fired Carlos Mendoza on Friday morning after a 4-game Cubs sweep at Citi Field — a series that included 6 infield errors in a single game — and Steve Cohen said publicly that fans deserve better. Green took over and lost immediately. New York sits at 34-48 with no Marcus Semien (10-day IL), no Luis Robert Jr. (60-day IL), and multiple relievers unavailable. Johan Rojas and Adolis Garcia are both 60-day IL entries for the Phillies, so Philadelphia isn't whole either — but the gap between where these teams are right now is about as wide as it's been all season.
