Frankie Montas' future with the New York Mets is uncertain after strong postgame comments from Carlos Mendoza.

The Mets (63-49) have lost five of their last six games and fell a half-game behind the Phillies (63-48) for the NL East lead. Philadelphia beat the Tigers, 2-0, on Sunday night.

The trouble started in the third — with the Mets up by a run — when Jung Hoo Lee singled to lead off the inning, stole second and reached third when Francisco Alvarez’s throw got away from Lindor at second. Lee scored on Patrick Bailey’s liner up the middle.
