PHILLIES 2 – METS 1 – 10 Innings
The Mets six game winning streak was snapped Friday night by the Philadelphia Phillies in a frustrating 2-1 extra inning loss. However, the bigger concern for the Amazin’s might be the the health of infielder’s Jeff McNeil and Eduardo Escobar.
McNeil suffered a right thumb laceration after he tried to avoid a tag by Philadelphia’s Rhys Hoskins. Escobar left the game with left side tightness that will require an MRI.
The Mets will know more on Saturday.
Max Scherzer gave up only a run on nine hits over seven innings. He got a no decision.
Michyal Givens was charged with the loss in the tenth after giving up a game deciding sac fly to Alex Bohm.
