In a terrific pitching duel on Friday between Tampa Bay Rays’ hurler Jake Odorizzi and the Mets’ Jacob deGrom, the bullpens ultimately decided the fate. Jake McGee and Brad Boxberger squandered one run leads in the eighth and ninth innings, and despite late homers from Evan Longoria and James Loney, the Rays fell 4-3 to New York. The Mets have won seven straight, while the Rays have dropped the last two in their final at-bat.
