With a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the Phillies - one which sank the Mets to 3-9 - Steve Carlton continues to search for his first major league win.
Lefty hurled a complete game, conceding a pair of runs in the third and scattering eight hits in absorbing the hard-luck setback. He lowered his ERA to 2.45 but was just the latest pitcher snake bitten by an offense that has been virtually invisible. We just shook it up this week, got an instant win but then betrayed Carlton.
