Mets’ free-fall reaches new low after crushing loss to Phillies
NY Post
PHILADELPHIA — The Mets aren’t going to leave town in first place and they shouldn’t count on being in second, either.
A disastrous week for manager Luis Rojas’ crew turned into a full-fledged raging inferno Saturday, when the Mets lineup hibernated for eight innings and woke up just long enough to create drama. In another underwhelming performance, the Mets totaled six hits in a 5-3 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park that pushed them 1 ½ games behind Philadelphia in an NL East race they had led for three months before losing Friday. After this latest loss, the Mets are in second place, half a game ahead of the Braves who lost to the Nationals on Saturday night.More Related News
