Mets Sunday Rubber Game Lineup vs. Phillies (Wheeler)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets lead 1-0 after 3....on Lindor's rbi single in the 1st.
He now has 82 rbi this season and has broken the Mets all time record for single season rbi by a SS. (Jose Reyes had 81 in 2006 )

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets put up a 4 spot on Wheeler in the 4th to extend to a 5-0 lead.

Me Likely.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

And now of course Bassitt gets into immediate trouble in the 5th.
Momentum given right back.
Nothing is ever easy.

edit:
Wow....C-Bass miraculously worked out of a bases loaded jam unscathed, except for his now very high pitch count.
Looks like it's gonna be the bullpen for the rest of the way.
Still 5-0 Mets middle of the 5th.
