Unfortunately, Wright would pop out to Boston Red Sox second baseman Brock Holt, but he would go 2-for-5 on the night in the Mets' 6-4 loss.

The 32-year-old third baseman missed the majority of the season with spinal stenosis, appearing in just eight games before making his return to the Mets' lineup on Aug. 24.

Wright has played well since his return and wass hitting .313/.377/.815 with two home runs, five RBIs, and two stolen bases for the season prior to the contest.

Before Friday's loss, the Mets hadn't lost a game since Wright's return.
