Phiilies 5 Mets 1

The Mets were playing well after winning 6 out of 7 including a 12-1 thrashing of the Phillies last night.  However the hitting went south today as Robert Gsellman made his first major leagure start.  He did well for 6 innings, but the visitors got three straight singles in the top of the 7th which eventually lead to 3 runs which put the Phillies ahead to stay.  Neil Walker and Yoenis Cespedes missed the game with nagging injuries.  The Mets also lost shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the first inning with soreness in his left knee.  They have 4 games coming up at home against the Miami Marlins in their quest for the second wild card.
