So far this season, there’s been some bad blood between the New York Mets and the Philadelphia Phillies. In 12 games between the two National League East ballclubs, 12 Mets have been hit by Phillies pitchers. Yes, you could say it’s a bad coincidence, but how is anyone supposed to know or confirm that?
This past weekend, the Mets hosted the Phillies for a three-game series at Citi Field. It was the final series before the All-Star Break, which occurs from Monday to Wednesday of next week.
During Friday’s game, in which the Mets fell 7-2, infielder Todd Frazier was hit by a pitch.
