Alec Bohm had four hits and four RBIs, including a three-run homer, and the Philadelphia Phillies wrapped up their third straight playoff berth in style by blowing out the New York Mets 12-2 on Friday night.

It was the pitching, though, that told the story of the night. Manager Carlos Mendoza pulled David Peterson from a two-run game after 3 2/3 innings and 64 pitches. Peterson clearly was not in top form — he had allowed eight hits and four runs and had another runner on base — but it nonetheless represented a very quick hook.

Red October, here we come. The Phillies dismantled the Mets on Friday, 12-2, punching their ticket to the postseason for the third consecutive season.

The Mets were still within striking distance when Carlos Mendoza decided to call to the bullpen in the fourth inning for right-hander Adam Ottavino. When the top of the fourth ended, the Phillies had blown the game wide open and the Mets were looking at a six-run deficit in what eventually turned into a 12-2 loss Friday night in a crucial game against their National League East rival.
