The Mets had the chance to follow up their second no-hitter in franchise history on Friday night by furthering another historical record and making it seven straight series wins to start the season. Alas, they will have to wait until Sunday to (hopefully) notch that bit of history, as the Phillies came back from their hapless offensive performance in the first game of the series by keeping the Mets offense largely off the board and beating up on the bullpen. The Mets fell to their division rivals 4-1.
Taijuan Walker made his return to the mound after pitching just two innings against the Phillies on April 11 before heading to the injured list.
