On September 9, 2018, the Philadelphia Phillies played the New York Mets on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Even with Mets ace Jacob deGrom scratched from his start due to the weather, the Phillies continued to struggle, suffering a 6-4 loss. Philadelphia had held a two-run advantage, but starting pitcher Vince Velasquez was unable to protect it, and the Mets came back for the win. The defeat felt as dismal for the Phillies as the weather conditions that day.
