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.
