PHILADELPHIA -- Jerry Blevins has owned lefty batters since joining the New York Mets, but even he is human.
Nursing a one-run lead in the seventh inning, Blevins surrendered a double to the lefty-hitting David Lough. It was only the third hit in 24 at-bats by lefty hitters against Blevins in his two seasons as a Met. Addison Reed entered and allowed Lough to score the tying run by Peter Bourjos.
The Mets went on to lose to the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4, on Wednesday at Citizens Bank Park to come up short of a three-game sweep.
