Howard caps huge rally with walk-off single in ninth

The Phillies chipped away at a five-run deficit and scored two runs in the ninth inning to beat the Mets, 7-6, on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. Cody Asche hit a leadoff double down the right-field line and scored the tying run on pinch-hitter Marlon Byrd’s single up the middle. Byrd eventually scored when Ryan Howard hit a two-out single to right field against Mets right-hander Jenrry Mejia.
