Phillies right fielder Nick Williams crept in from his usual spot, playing about 50 feet closer to home plate than he normally would — challenging, almost daring, Amed Rosario to hit a ball over his head.
It didn’t take long for Rosario to oblige, shooting the first pitch he saw in the sixth inning Wednesday to the right-field wall.

The Mets improved to 40-19 against the Phillies since the start of the 2015 season.
