What’s the best medicine for a slumping offense and a struggling pitching staff? The Philadelphia Phillies, of course!
After getting swept by the Pirates over the weekend, the Mets (27-21) returned the favor by sweeping the Phillies (19-30) in a three-game series at Citi Field.
Game Recap:
Coming into today’s game, Noah Syndergaard has had a 1-2-3 inning in each of those start. Today was no different. Syndergaard continued his perfect-first inning streak for the fourth straight game.
In the bottom of the first, Phillies starter, Sean O’Sullivan got both Curtis Granderson and Juan Lagares to fly out, before was rudely interrupted by a Lucas Duda home run over the right field fence to give the Mets a quick 1-0 lead.
