Game 54 - Phils Fall Quietly in Loss to Mets

2016 Chachi Photo Day #19
Mets 2
, Phillies 0
Game 54 - Tuesday Night, May 30th in Flushing
Record - 25-29, 4th Place, 6 1/2 games behind the Braves

One Sentence Summary:  The Phillies offense managed two singles against Mets' starting pitcher Kodai Senga and two relievers, wasting a good start from Ranger Suarez.

What It Means:  For the sake of completeness, I'm going to trudge through this three game series with the Mets fairly quickly.

What Happened:  I mean, not much.  Suarez allowed a solo home run to Francisco Lindor in the fourth.  In the seventh, Eduardo Escobar hit a soft single to center off reliever Connor Brogdon, scoring the Mets' second run.  The Phillies' offense had two singles - a Kody Clemens hit in the third and then a pinch-hit from Josh Harrison in the ninth.  It was a thoroughly unenjoyable game for a Phillies fan, and thankfully it only took a little over two hours to play.

Featured Card:  At the end of the television broadcast for this game, a graphic was put on screen noting this loss was the first since July 17, 2016 that the Phillies failed to get a runner to second base agains the Mets (or something to that effect.)  The only hit in that game was a single from Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin.  We were there the day before that game (July 16, 2016) and took the picture shown here with Eflin.
