For the third time in as many days, the Mets lost to the Phillies, and the 10-5 final score in this game wasn’t really indicative of how handily the Mets were beaten.
Joey Lucchesi looked decent enough through four innings in his first major league start of the year. He had given up a relatively short opposite field home run to Bryce Harper in the bottom of the first, but that merely tied the game, as Mark Vientos had doubled in the first run of the game on the top of the inning.
The Mets retook the lead when Pete Alonso scored on a wild pitch after an ugly sequence of fielding events by the Phillies had put him on third base on what probably should have been a single to left field.
