The New York Mets suffered their third consecutive loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, falling 10-5 in a game marked by poor pitching and defensive errors. Bryce Harper led the Phillies with a homer and a double, driving in three runs. Ranger Suárez earned his eighth win, maintaining an impressive 1.37 ERA. The Mets' loss was exacerbated by Joey Lucchesi's struggles in the fifth inning, where he lost command and issued three walks. The Mets have now lost five of their last six games and hold a 19-23 record, making their playoff hopes increasingly tenuous.

Worst part about that ugly loss for the Mets is the Phillies made about as many mistakes defensively. But they got big hits to cash in while the Mets, as usual, did not. And the walks virus continues to spread. Cost Lucchesi badly and added to starters' MLB-high total.
