Sean Manaea walked off the mound on Thursday believing his night wasn’t quite finished. He had worked through traffic for much of the evening and there was reason to think he had enough left in the tank to get another couple of outs.

One step forward, one step back. That is what the New York Mets (33-41) have done in recent weeks. After taking two of three against the first-place Atlanta Braves last weekend, they followed that up by losing two of three against the Cincinnati Reds – not a good recipe for trying to push closer to .500. The Mets will try to reset against the Philadelphia Phillies (40-34), who are now 31-14...

Pitching-wise, the Mets didn’t get much out of Tobias Myers and Kodai Senga in the first two games, but Nolan McLean had his best outing in a bit with...
