US EditionMets Honor David Wright by Retiring No. 5, Inducting Him Into Team Hall of Fame
QUEENS, NEW YORK, JUL 20 – David Wright was inducted into the Mets Hall of Fame and had his No. 5 retired as the team struggled offensively, losing their third consecutive game due to defensive errors and poor hitting.
- On Saturday, the Mets held a pregame ceremony at Citi Field retiring No. 5, and inducted David Wright into the Hall of Fame.
- According to SNY, Wright finished as the franchise leader in hits, RBI, doubles, and runs scored, and his career was cut short at 35 by spinal stenosis.
- Defensive miscues by Ronny Mauricio—including an errant throw—proved costly, while a wide throw on a double-play ball and an errant throw by Mauricio allowed critical runs.
- After the ceremony, New York lost 5-2 to the Reds, and the sellout crowd of 42,605 booed amid errors and stagnant offense.
- New York has lost six of its past nine games, and Francisco Lindor's 17-at-bat hitless skid has dropped his average to.253.
