The Mets blew a 5-0 lead and lost to the Phillies in a long, dull, terrible game Wednesday. But there was one bit of unwanted excitement — Yoenis Cespedes left the game after being hit on the hand by a pitch.
Cespedes was clearly in pain after getting hit in the third. And Mets fans were also in pain as we had to wait for the diagnosis. Was the Mets post-season over before it could even begin? Then we got word that it was just a contusion on his left middle and ring fingers.
