The decimated Mets received two more injury jolts Friday as a pair of All-Stars departed an eventual 3-1 loss to the Nationals.

The Fort Bragg Game, played on a temporary field built on the remains of a discarded golf course with 350,000 tons of infield clay hauled in, was baseball’s thank-you to the military, a chance for the sport to give something back to the men and women who serve their country.

On the diamond, the Marlins defeated the Braves by the score of 5-2.
