Meet the Mets
The Mets suffered another embarrassing loss to one of the teams they are chasing in the Wild Card standings. The pitching struggled all game, especially David Peterson who gave up six runs out of the bullpen. The offense was again nonexistant outside of Francisco Alvarez who accounted for all their runs with one swing of the bat. They will now look to avoid a sweep in the series finale.
