The final game of the Mets’ season, Buck Showlater’s Mets career, and the pre-David Stearns era happened today at Citi Field, where the Mets were not able to complete the sweep of the playoff-bound Phillies, losing 9-1.
The scoring got started in the top of the third inning, when Bryson Stott singled home Garrett Stubbs, who had walked and stolen second before being driven in. The Mets answered instantly with a Tim Locastro solo home run to knot the game at 1-1.
Jose Butto continued his second half of surprisingly cromulent baseball by allowing just one other run, a solo home run by Alec Bohm in the sixth.
