Good morning, Mets fans!
The Mets lost a great game against the Phillies Friday, as the 2-1 battle went to the 10th inning.
Max Scherzer tossed another gem, but the bats were silent against Philadelphia’s pitching staff. Liz Evangelou provided a further recap of the game.
Big news from Major League Baseball Friday, as it became public that Padres superstar Fernando Tatis Jr. was suspended for 80 games for performance enhancing drugs.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported that Tatis tested positive for Clostebol, a performance-enhancing substance in violation of MLB’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
The star had just begun a rehab assignment after missing the entire season to this point with a fractured left wrist.
The Padres were severely banking on the return of Tatis’ bat to the lineup. They also felt really good about their World Series chances after acquiring Juan Soto at the trade deadline. Now that they will not have the thump of Tatis in the lineup, it makes their gamble to get Soto even more risky.
