It is with great certainty I say much of the New York Mets postseason fortunes turned for the worse when Yoenis Cespedes was hit on the hand during a Sept. 30 regular season game in Philadelphia.
That’s when La Potencia was taken from the Mets line-up.
The Mets were playing the second game of three at Philadelphia, where Phillies starter Alec Asher failed to complete the first inning after surrendering five earned runs on home runs by Daniel Murphy and Michael Conforto.
