PHILADELPHIA — The Mets got a taste of what their day would be like offensively in the first inning Sunday afternoon.
Facing Phillies ace Aaron Nola, they loaded the bases with one out and came away with nothing.
The Mets had plenty of chances to break out and make life easier for a pitching staff that had to piece together eight innings with Jacob deGrom’s early exit, but they left Citizens Bank Park still searching for a big hit after a 4-2 loss to the Phillies.
The Mets had 11 hits, three walks and a hit batter but stranded nine base runners and went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
