Mets bats go quiet in nightcap for doubleheader split

After unloading on Zack Wheeler and the Phillies bullpen in Game 1, the Mets’ offense was shut down by Bailey Falter and the Phillies bullpen in the nightcap, as the Mets lost this one 4-1.

Both teams got on the board in the first inning, as the Mets loaded the bases with two outs on a Lindor single and then consecutive walks. Falter then threw a wild pitch, allowing Lindor to score and the Mets to draw first blood. The inning could have been way worse for Falter, but Starling Marte was caught stealing for the second out and Falter was able to get Lindor to line out to end the threat.
