Mets’ Jeff McNeil exits game vs Marlins with tight hamstring
NEW YORK (AP) — All-Star Mets sparkplug Jeff McNeil left a game against the Miami Marlins on Monday with tightness in his right hamstring and was sent for an MRI. McNeil walked off uneasily after scoring on a wild pitch in the fourth inning and went straight to the clubhouse. Luis Guillorme replaced him at second base the next inning. McNeil reached in the fourth with a double that raised his batting average to a team-leading .327. The left-handed hitter poked his hit against the shift after entering the game hitting .380 when teams stack three infielders on the right side.
