The Mets lost Game 1 of the London Series to the Phillies by a 7-2 score. New York jumped out to an early lead, thanks to a Francisco Lindor leadoff double, a J.D. Martinez hit by pitch, and a Starling Marte two out, run-scoring single. Sean Manaea was on cruise control until the fourth, when Bryce Harper tied the game with a solo homer, which opened the flood gates for a six-run frame that ended Manaea’s afternoon and effectively ended the Mets’ hopes of a win. The main talking point of that fourth was a Marte misplay in right, as he let a ball that he should have had drop.
