FINAL: #Mets 1, Philadelphia 4" -@Mets

The Mets offense combined for just one run on three base hits. Some fans felt it was a pathetic showing by the offense. While the offense did go cold tonight, the team did manage to split the doubleheader on the road. Sweeping a doubleheader is one of the hardest things to do as a team in baseball, no matter the opponent.

The offense still has a chance to win three out of four games in the series over the Phillies tomorrow.
