Overview

  • The Mets dropped their seventh straight game Friday, losing 10-2 to the Phillies and marking their longest skid since June 2023.
  • Philadelphia’s eight-run surge over the past nine games vaulted the Phillies into sole possession of first place in the NL East.
  • Starters Kodai Senga (hamstring) and Tylor Megill (elbow) are on the 15-day injured list, joined this week by reliever Max Kranick (elbow strain).
  • Rookie Blade Tidwell showed improved command in his second start, allowing two runs and striking out four over 3 2/3 innings.
  • Despite a 12.05 ERA in six minor-league rehab outings, Frankie Montas is expected to debut for the Mets at Citi Field on Tuesday.
