Go figure. The Mets sweep the division-leading Phillies, but lose 3 out of 4 to the lowly Miami Marlins. In the past, the Marlins have played spoilers to the Mets in the stretch drive. As of this writing, the Mets are 6.5 games behind the NL East-leading Phillies, but still lead the Reds by 4 games for the last wild card berth.
In today's game, Kodai Senga allowed 5 runs and 7 hits in 4 2/3 innings, continuing to struggle with his effectiveness. Relief pitcher Brandon Waddell kept the Mets in the game by allowing no runs and 3 hits in 4 1/3 innings. His reward will likely be a trip back to Syracuse, orchestrated by David Stearns who must hold the record for roster moves in a season. As of today, the Mets have used 44 pitchers.
A "lowlight" of the game was a base-clearing brawl after Mark Vientos was hit by a pitch by Sandy Alcantara.
