After Saturday’s excitement and pageantry, the 2024 London Series wraps up Sunday, with Game 2 at London Stadium airing right now on ESPN.

The Phillies rolled with a familiar formula in Game 1, led to a 7-2 victory by Ranger Suárez and Bryce Harper, with the former earning his MLB-best 10th win and the latter thrilling fans in attendance with his 15th home run (and subsequent celebration.) Now looking for a series split, the Mets sent Jose Quintana to the mound against the Phillies’ Taijuan Walker to close out a memorable weekend.

Keep it locked in here for the best of Game 2 of the 2024 London Series.

It had been all Phillies for most of the weekend, but things finally clicked for the Mets in the top of the sixth — after starter Walker was lifted, Brandon Nimmo and J.D. Martinez greeted Gregory Soto with a pair of well-placed hits to pull even.

After Saturday’s game, Mets outfielders spoke to the challenges the configuration of London Stadium presented for tracking fly balls. This ball off the bat of Weston Wilson looked like trouble for DJ Stewart, but it hadn’t reckoned with his tenacity.

Phils pad their lead by a pair

In a low-scoring affair — uncharacteristic both for the Phillies and for the launching pad that is London Stadium — Philadelphia extended its lead with a modest two-run rally in the fourth, on a double by Edmundo Sosa and a single from Whit Merrifield.

Didn’t go far, but got it done

After Saturday’s power surge, the Phillies showed off their small ball capabilities on Sunday. Kyle Schwarber had each of the Phillies’ first two hits of the day, leading off the game with a squibber and later scoring the first run of the game on a double-play ball hit by Alec Bohm.

Ahead of this weekend, actor Rob McElhenney was given the choice between throwing out his Sunday first pitch to Chase Utley or Bryce Harper.

What Phillies fan could pick just one? Certainly not McElhenney, who opted instead for a ceremonial first double play — potentially the first in professional baseball, although we can’t confirm — with Utley at second base and Harper at first.

While he was mic’d up in the third inning to talk about his experience in London, the ball immediately found Francisco Lindor. He had it handled (never a doubt).

‘C’mon. We’ll take everybody.’

Reside in England and looking for a favorite baseball team? Bryce Harper has got you covered.

Both mascots at their posts

After Bryce Harper showed off a bat depicting the Phanatic as a member of the Royal Guard on Saturday, the Mets got in on the action during batting practice on Sunday with their own mascot-as-Royal-Guard equipment.

The Phanatic, now in full uniform as a royal guard (no word yet on how said uniform was acquired), made a mid-game appearance on ESPN to deliver tea to broadcasters Doug Granville, Michael Kay and Tim Kurkjan.
