The Mets finished their matinee,at Citizens Bank Park as the clubhouse leader in bruises, having been struck by 10 pitches in seven games to start the season. Entering play Wednesday night, 25 teams in baseball had been plunked four or fewer times.
“Not something I want to lead [the majors] in. It’s not funny,” manager Buck Showalter said, before underscoring: “It’s not funny.” “What does Tampa Bay know that they don’t get hit by pitches?” said Showalter, who’s been staring down the list of hit by pitches. “It’s a problem when we lose somebody.”The first pitch Mark Canha saw in the fourth inning — a 78 mph curveball — plunked him to load the bases. The next batter, Jeff McNeil, was behind 1-2 in the count when an Aaron Nola four-seam fastball bore in on him, drilling him on the elbow for the Mets’ third run of the game. Dominic Smith was hit in the fifth inning.
The trend is eyebrow-raising, if not unprecedented. In 2020, both the Cubs and Mets had been drilled double-digit times through their first seven games, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
