Words cannot begin to describe the pandemonium that occurred at Citizens Bank Park Thursday night as the Mets faced off against the Phillies, in what was a very routine, boring game for much of the night.
Taijuan Walker got the start, the third consecutive time he faced Philadelphia to begin the season, and struggled from the jump. Walker allowed four runs in the first, as the Phillies jumped out to an early 4-0 lead, which only grew from there. In the second inning, they were able to plate another run before Bryce Harper and Nick Castellanos hit solo homers in the fourth, making it 7-0 Philadelphia.
