Mets Game 142: Loss to Phillies

Phillies 6 Mets 2

Too little, too late.

The Mets couldn’t get to Jamie Moyer before he turned in for his afternoon nap, and Pedro Martinez let the Phillies jump ahead to an early 6-0 lead in a disappointing game for Mets fans.

With the loss, the Mets also lost the series to the Phillies, and will have to come back guns ablazin’ tonight to avoid a sweep — and a tie for first.

Notes

The Mets managed only two hits against Moyer, then hit three doubles in the 8th against Scott Eyre.

If there is a positive, the Phillies were forced to use Eyre, Ryan Madson, and J.C. Romero — which could affect their availability or performance in the nightcap.
