The Mets honored a legend on Saturday, retiring Darryl Strawberry’s No. 18 and celebrating the life and career of a franchise great.
It was a memorable start to the day—and then the game happened.
Mets starter Sean Manaea struck out a season-high 10 batters, but also gave up five runs in a 10-5 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks Saturday afternoon at Citi Field.
Manaea cruised through the first two innings but found trouble in the third after allowing a leadoff single to left fielder Jake McCarthy followed by a walk to shortstop Kevin Newman.
