Disastrous Joey Lucchesi inning dooms Mets in loss to Rays
NY Post
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The long ball was no substitute Saturday for the Mets’ lack of length in another area.
Joey Lucchesi, the long man behind opener Drew Smith, imploded during a disastrous fourth inning from which the Mets never recovered in a second straight loss to the Rays, 12-5 at Tropicana Field. The Mets, who blasted a season-high three homers, trailed by one run in the eighth before Jacob Barnes and Jeurys Familia combined to allow five hits and two walks, turning the game into a runaway.More Related News
