Mets vs. White Sox Game 51 Recap

The New York Mets lost to Chicago White Sox tonight 6-4 to drop their record to 29-22. They are now 2 games out of first place in the National League East behind the Washington Nationals. RHP Hansel Robles gave up 3 runs in the top of the 8th inning and took the loss. This is the second consecutive outing for Robles where he has given up 3 runs in an inning. After Robles was taken out, LHP Jerry Blevins came in and gave up a walk with the based loaded to give up a third run in the inning. LHP Steven Matz gave up 2 runs in the sixth inning after cruising through the first five innings. He never made it out of the 6th inning and was replaced by RHP Jim Henderson. It was uncharacteristic of Matz to blow a 4 run lead, but it happen from time to time. He was due to have a rough start after 7 consecutive wins. Hopefully he bounces back in his next start. The Mets offense went quiet after scoring 4 runs in the first 3 innings and didn't score the rest of the game.  CF Yoenis Cespedes and  RF Curtis Granderson hit sacrifice flies. 2B Neil Walker hit a 2 run homer.
