NEW YORK (AP) — Seth Lugo got the Mets‘ rotation its first win in more than three weeks, Phillies star Bryce Harper screamed in an umpire’s face after being ejected for arguing over a foul ball, and New York beat Philadelphia 5-1 Saturday night.
In his third start since moving out of the bullpen, Lugo (2-2) pitched five innings of one-run ball and tied a career high with eight strikeouts. He ended a stretch of 19 games for the Mets without a starter earning a victory, which matched a franchise record set in 1980.
