The New York Mets lost to the Phillies tonight 6-2 tonight for their fourth consecutive loss in 11 innings to drop their record to .500 at 7-7. RHP Zack Wheeler got the start and went five innings giving up one run. Wheeler allowed 2 walks and had seven strikeouts. RHP Hansel Robles followed and picked up the first two outs in the top of the sixth. LHP Josh Smoker and RHP Fernando Salas combined to finish the top of the seventh inning. Salas came back out for the top of the eighth and was able to get the first two outs, but was unable to finish the inning due to a costly dropped popout by 3B Jose Reyes. LHP Jerry Blevins appeared next and allowed a game-tying double to Cameron Rupp. RHP Addison Reed pitched a scoreless top of the ninth inning. RHP Rafael Montero allowed four runs in the top of the ninth and took the loss.
The Mets offense struggled all night with only four hits for the entire game. RF Jay Bruce hit an RBI single in the bottom of the first inning. LF Yoenis Cespedes scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the first inning. After that, the bats were silent for the rest of the game.
