The New York Mets lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 tonight to lose two out of three games in the series and dropped their record to 77-72 and dropped four games behind the Chicago Cubs for the second National League wild card spot with 13 games left. RHP Zack Wheeler had an excellent start allowing one run on six hits with no walks and nine strikeouts in seven innings. The only run Wheeler allowed was an RBI single by Dodgers SS Corey Seager in the top of the fourth. LHP Justin Wilson came in next in the top of the eighth and was unable to record an out. Wilson walked pinch-hitter Jedd Gyorko to lead off the inning and then Gyorko was able to reach third after Wilson committed a balk and then later threw a wild pitch. He then gave up a RBI double to 3B Chris Taylor. RHP Seth Lugo had to come in and retired catcher Will Smith on a fly out to end the inning. Lugo stayed in for the top of the ninth and gave up a one-out RBI double to LF Enrique Hernandez.
The offense jumped out to an early lead in the bottom of the second inning after 2B Robinson Cano walked with one out, LF J.D. Davis singled to advance Cano to third base and CF Brandon Nimmo came through with a two-run triple. The whole lineup struggled tonight and reached base only seven times with 3 hits, 3 walks and a hit-by pitch and were 1-5 with runners in scoring position.
The Mets next game is tomorrow night at the Colorado Rockies at 8:40 p.m.
