PHILADELPHIA — The next time Steven Matz is scheduled to pitch at Citizens Bank Park, he should just call in sick.
About the only thing that can be taken to the bank is that this bandbox is a horror house for the Mets left-hander, who suddenly is careening off the tracks.
Monday night he got jumped in the first inning and never recovered in the Mets’ second straight loss, 13-7 to the Phillies.
A day after a bullpen implosion doomed their chances of a road series victory at Wrigley Field, the Mets again fell five games below .
