The Mets followed up a win last night with a devastating loss tonight, putting a massive damper on their already slim playoff chances in this truncated 2020 campaign.
The first two innings saw the Mets and Rays mirror each other, with the first inning going by quickly for both teams, and the second inning saw solo shots hit by each club. Joey Wendle opened the scoring with one, and Andres Gimenez hit his third of his rookie year to tie it up.
The Rays would score another one on Wacha quickly, by way of a fielder’s choice, making it 2-1 in the top of the third.
