Mets’ quick pitches upset Phillies in 6-5 loss

It has been a long season for David Wright.

“That’s news to me, that that was my first road win”, he said. Wright went 9 for 28 for Class A St. Lucie, with no extra-base hits, though it was clear he was ready to get back even if he hadn’t logged a suitable number of at-bats in rehab. The teams tied an NL record with 11 combined homers. The Phillies just struggle with the Mets so know that I’m a fan here with this call… “His homer was among a franchise-record eight in the Mets” 16-7 win over the Phillies.

Iwakuma allowed seven runs on seven hits in 4⅔ innings. In fact, it’s a pitcher’s job to MAKE the batter uncomfortable, within reason (and not for nothing, the umpire disallowed the pitch because he deemed it to be TOO quick).

The Phillies chased Mets starter Jacob deGrom before the end of the third.

Wright returned to the New York Mets’ lineup Monday night after missing more than four months with spinal stenosis. What’s more, the Mets’ eight home runs beat their franchise record of seven, which, of course, was set April 19, 2005…at Citizens Bank Park.

“It did affect me a little bit but it’s not an excuse”, the right-hander told MLB’s official website.

After adding David Wright to the mix, the visiting NL East leaders will try to win for the 17th time in 23 games Tuesday night when they face the Philadelphia Phillies. “He made a lot of bad pitches”, Phillies interim manager Pete Mackanin said. He struck out six and walked none, throwing 41 of 56 pitches for strikes. “It’s good for the player and the team”.

Feldman pitched eight innings for the first time since September 18, 2014.

Colon encountered problems in the first when he allowed three hits but he used a double play to escape unscathed and keep the Mets ahead, 3-0. Gomez responded by throwing a sinker that didn’t sink, and Cuddyer smacked it for a two-run single and a 6-4 Mets lead. Two more runs in the eighth sealed the deal. He was charged with five runs (four earned) on five hits during his 5 /3-inning outing.

AL Central leaders the Kansas City Royals were 8-3 winners at home to the Baltimore Orioles.

Lagares golfed an 0-2 pitch out to left in the third to cut it to 4-2.

Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox: Blasting a homer in consecutive games, Abreu was two-for-four with a solo homer and two runs scored. DeGrom, who saw his ERA climb from 1.98 to 2.29, said location was his biggest issue. 355 during a five-game winning streak.

In New York, Carlos Beltran hit a game-ending sacrifice fly after Oliver Perez walked the bases loaded. 306 with seven homers and 20 RBIs since New York acquired him on July 31.

Considering Williams had entered the game with a 6.10 earned-run average, that was hardly an encouraging start. Miami lost its fourth straight game.

Colorado’s Charlie Blackmon and Ben Paulsen hit homers in the first and second innings, respectively.
