MLB: New York Mets at Philadelphia Phillies Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

Meet the Mets

Aaron Nola proved too much for the Mets, who let Jacob deGrom down even when he wasn’t pitching. The Mets could muster only one run against Nola, before adding another after he left the game. The Phillies, on the other hand, got to Noah Syndergaard early, with Asdrubal Cabrera doing damage to his old team. The final score was 4-2.
