For Lucas Duda, the injury apparently occurred during an awkward play at first. A tapper by Phillies’ second baseman Cesar Hernandez up the line in the top of the fifth inning was fielded by Mets starting pitcher Robert Gsellman. His throw into the runner caused Duda to extend his glove toward Hernandez who looked to run directly into his wrist.
Duda looked in visible pain right after the play, and after a ground out to Jose Reyes ended the inning, Duda’s night would be done.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, Wilmer Flores pinch hit for Duda, and would eventually stay on as a replacement at first base.
