The Mets had the pitching edge on paper but things ended up going awry in their 6-4 loss to the Phillies. The offense did jump out to an early lead but they also squandered multiple opportunities to tack on runs. With the bases loaded in the first inning they scored just one run after pitcher Kolby Allard walked in a run. Then after Starling Marte drove in two with a triple in the third, he was stranded there with one out.
Those runs ended up proving crucial since Luis Severino gave up two home runs to Bryce Harper to get the Phillies back in the game.
