Pitching

Jacob deGrom was dominant in tonight’s start against the Philadelphia Phillies. He hurled seven quality innings, only allowed two earned runs, three hits, and struck out ten batters. Once again, deGrom left with a no-decision leaving the game tied at two.

The Mets are now 16-30 in deGrom’s last 46 starts, Jacob has a 2.15 ERA in that span.

Seth Lugo took over to pitch the eighth inning. He was nearly flawless only allowing a hit, while stranding the runner at first base on a strikeout to Rhys Hoskins looking on a fastball to end the eighth inning.

Edwin Diaz came in to pitch the top of the ninth to try and keep the game tied at 2-2. Two batters into the game he gives up back to back base hits to J.T. Realmuto and former Met Jay Bruce which gave the Phillies a 3-2 lead. Diaz gave up a total of four earned runs, he left the game responsible for two runners on base at first and third.

Jeurys Familia came into relieve for Edwin Diaz, he gave up two hits and allowed both inherited runners score.

Luis Avilan finally secured the last out of the ninth inning with a groundball to shortstop.

Offense

Pete Alonso got the offense started with a bang for his 29th home run of the year off of starting pitcher Vince Velasquez to tie the game at 1-1.

In the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs, Jeff McNeil got a two-out rally started providing a screaming liner into left field just passing third-baseman Maikel Franco for a base-hit.

Next batter, Alonso hammered another extra base hit right out into the right center field gap. McNeil came all the way around to score from first base to give deGrom and the Mets a 2-1 lead. Pete is up to 52 extra base hits during his rookie season campaign.

Robinson Cano had his fifth straight multi-hit game hitting two opposite singles boosting his average up to .245.
