What isn’t eating up the New York Mets at the moment? An early lead on Thursday seemed to hint at finally breaking their losing streak. They had Jesus Luzardo’s number with 4 early runs against the Philadelphia Phillies starter. He proceeded to have no issue for the rest of the night, retiring 22 straight to finish it off.
But that wasn’t the only problem with the Mets. David Peterson only gave them 5 innings. Worse was Reed Garrett pitching poorly and Brooks Raley then being unable to tightrope walk the Mets out of the inning.
It’s clear this team has problems everywhere you can look.
