For the third straight game, the Mets rallied in the final inning of regulation. This time they won the game outright, edging the Phillies, 4-3, Saturday afternoon at Citi Field with no extra innings needed. Travis Blankenhorn started off the ninth inning with a hard shot that the Phillies first baseman was unable to handle, [...]
Major League Baseball’s first week of its version of “stop and frisk,” wherein umpires check pitchers for illegal foreign substances, has been unsurprisingly eventful.
