NEW YORK — Another soul-crushing, playoff-hopes-dimming loss was on the horizon for the New York Mets after their bullpen blew another lead late. At least tonight, the Mets offense converted on the one final chance it had to save the team’s blushes.

Pete Alonso drew a bases-leaded walk in the bottom of the ninth to give the Mets a walk-off 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in the first of a crucial three-game series between Wild Card hopefuls at Citi Field.
