In what can only be described as the low point of the season (so far; there’s still plenty of season left for new low points), the Mets were swept by the Phillies, losing the series finale 3-0 at Citizen’s Bank Park.
Things did not get off to a good start for Taijuan Walker, as he allowed two solo homers in the first inning—one to Jean Segura and one to J.T. Realmuto—to put the Mets in an early 2-0 hole. What’s particularly demoralizing about this current slide the Mets are on is that the game already felt over at that point.
