To say that Sunday night’s Mets-Phillies game wasn’t a complete avalanche of anger, frustration, devastation, complications, and a few more -ation words that I don’t even know would be a massive lie. The Mets looked two different kinds of ugly on either end of their six-run eighth inning that gave them the lead they needed in an 8-7 win over Philadelphia.
Since they were the first issues to happen during the game, as long as you’re not counting the broadcast booth, it only makes sense to start from the beginning. You may not believe it by just looking at the 8-7 final score, but this game only saw two runs cross the plate in the first five innings and only six in total after the conclusion of the seventh.
