Overview

• In the eighth against Philadelphia, Ryan Helsley walked Nick Castellanos, yielded a game-tying two-run homer to Harrison Bader, then walked Bryson Stott before being booed off the mound; the Mets won 6-5 on Brandon Nimmo’s walk-off after Edwin Díaz retired five straight.
• Since the July 30 trade, Helsley is 0-3 with a 10.38 ERA and four blown saves in 11 outings, allowing 14 runs (10 earned), 13 hits and seven walks in 8 2/3 innings.
• Manager Carlos Mendoza said the staff will review whether Helsley is tipping pitches after observing hitters’ unusually comfortable at-bats.
• Díaz, who closed out the game, voiced support for Helsley and urged him to keep his head up as he works through the slump.
• President of baseball operations David Stearns pointed to an adjustment to a new setup role and noted the stuff remains, after Helsley’s All-Star tenure in St. Louis that included an MLB-best 49 saves last year.
