Mychal Givens, pitching in his fifth game with the 2022 Mets, was trying to impress as a trade-deadline addition whose tenure in Queens had begun poorly.
The reliever entered a tie game in the top of the 10th inning against the Phillies on Aug. 12 and did everything well.
Rhys Hoskins grounded out. Alec Bohm flew out. J.T. Realmuto struck out.
For his good work, Givens was awarded an unearned run and tagged with a loss after the Mets’ bats failed in the bottom of the inning.
