Tauchman Injured in Mets 7-5 Loss, Plus Notes From Split-Squad Loss to Nats

The Mets’ offense rolled in their 7-5 loss to the Astros Saturday. Unfortunately, the positives were lost when Mike Tauchman exited the game in the fifth with left knee soreness.

The 35-year-old appeared injured first after grounding out in the third inning. He took the field in the fourth, where he went back on a ball in right field and looked even more noticeably in pain after failing to track the ball down.
