The New York Mets (19-10) were defeated by the Philadelphia Phillies (12-15) 3-2 in the first game of Sunday’s doubleheader. 

Phillies Lineup 

Chris Bassitt has made five starts and pitched 31 innings this season with a 2.61 ERA, 3.21 FIP, 0.935 WHIP and a 145 ERA+. In his last two starts he has allowed three runs over 13 innings while striking out 14 batters. In total he’s allowed nine earned runs this season, but five them came in one start. If you drop that start, against the Giants, he’s allowed four runs over 25 innings. Shockingly, he has not matched up yet with the Phillies this season. Only a few players on the Phillies roster have seen Bassitt in a major league game:

  • Nick Castellanos 6-14, 3 2B, HR, BB
  • Kyle Schwarber 2-3, 2B
  • Garrett Stubbs 0-3

Mets Lineup 

Cristopher Sanchez has just one appearance (2.1 innings) against the Mets, allowing two walks and no hits.

Game Notes

  • The Mets have released second baseman Robinson Canó. The eight-time All-Star was designated for assignment this past Monday after struggling in 41 at-bats with a .233 OBP and just three RBIs. 
  • Zach Eflin was the Phillies’ projected game two starter but has been put on the COVID-19 injured-list.
  • Stephen Nogosek has been added to the active roster. Adonis Medina will be the 27th man for the second game. 

Let’s Go Mets!
