Mason Thompson took the mound with a 7-6 lead over the New York Mets on Wednesday in Citi Field, and the 23-year-old right-hander, acquired from San Diego’s Padres at the July 30 trade deadline in return for Daniel Hudson, gave up a leadoff double on a 98 MPH 1-1 sinker to J.D. Davis, then threw one by Josh Bell at first base after fielding a bunt by Jonathan Villar, allowing the tying run scored on the error.
Villar took second on the throwing error, moved to third on a groundout by James McCann, then scored on a soft line drive to center field by Brandon Drury, 8-7 Mets.
