Disastrous Joey Lucchesi inning dooms Mets in loss to Rays
NY Post
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The long ball was no substitute Saturday for the Mets’ lack of length in another area.
Joey Lucchesi, the long man behind opener Drew Smith, imploded during a disastrous fourth inning from which the Mets never recovered in a second straight loss to the Rays, 12-5 at Tropicana Field. The Mets, who blasted a season-high three homers, trailed by one run in the eighth before Jacob Barnes and Jeurys Familia combined to allow five hits and two walks, turning the game into a runaway.

The Knicks reached the three-quarter pole of the basketball season Sunday night, and if they wanted to celebrate the occasion, they couldn’t have asked for a better patsy. Right now, the poor Pelicans are everyone’s favorite Homecoming Game, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram bedecked in sweaters and strapped to the injured list.
Christian McCaffrey left Sunday’s game with a knee injury after he suffered what appeared to be a non-contact injury and it may be the reason his 2024 season ends.
Perhaps one day this current stretch, or this season, will represent a changing of the guard within the Rangers.
