The Mets’ longest winning streak of the season was stopped last night as they dropped the middle game of their series to the Padres by a score of 3-1. The offense was befuddled by Blake Snell, who came in to the game with an ERA under 1.00 in his last eight starts and only continued to dominate in this one, allowing just one hit over six innings.
Snell struck out 11 Mets, including seven of the first eight batters. The Mets finally got a baserunner in the third, when Snell walked Mark Canha and Brandon Nimmo followed with an infield single, but a groundout by Tommy Pham ended the threat.
