Mets can’t get out of their own way, sink further with sloppy loss to Phillies

At this rate, the Mets have a better chance of catching the Nationals in last place in the NL East than the Braves at the top of the division.

The Mets lost another sloppy game on Friday, this time a 5-1 defeat to the Phillies, marred by a first-inning error by Brandon Nimmo leading to an unearned run and Francisco Lindor inexplicably bailing on a pop-up in the sixth that fell for an RBI single by Brandon Marsh.

Kodai Senga, pitching again on five-days’ rest, was inefficient and couldn’t overcome the mistakes by his teammates. Trea Turner walked, and after a strikeout of Nick Castellanos, Bryce Harper singled to left to score Schwarber. New York Mets center fielder Brandon Nimmo, left, cannot catch a fly ball by Philadelphia Phillies’ Kyle Schwarber in the first inning.Senga settled down after the first inning and didn’t allow more than one baserunner in an inning again until the sixth, when Stott and Alec Bohm singled with one out to put runners on the corners and send Senga packing.
