Mets look to back on track vs. Phillies
The New York Mets enter their weekend series in Philadelphia out of sorts and out of order.
The wallowing Mets will try to stay above .500 against a Philadelphia Phillies team that swept the San Francisco Giants earlier this week. The divisional foes start a three-game set at 7:05 p.m. ET Friday night.
The Mets have lost eight of their last nine games, and they made headlines for the wrong reasons in their latest defeat. New York batted out of order in the first inning against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. The flub killed a potential rally in an eventual 2-1 loss that cost the Mets the series against the lowly Reds.
