Mets loss is dwarfed by scary collision between McLean and Young
The offense was shut out, again negating a solid pitching performance. It didn’t matter as much after the sixth inning.
At Citi Field, the New York Mets suffered a 3-0 defeat to the Philadelphia Phillies on September 14, 2026. However, the focus shifted to a harrowing collision between outfielder Nolan McLean and first baseman Jared Young, leaving Young unconscious and requiring emergency medical services. Despite the injury, Young confirmed he was feeling and functioning normally.
The incident served as a stark reminder of the sport's inherent dangers. In the fifth inning, McLean walked Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner to load the bases, and after a series of events, Young's collision with McLean led to Young's temporary incapacitation.
