The Mets needed a win in the worst way possible. With only 9 games left in this short season, they’ve had their backs against the wall for a little while now, and the laugher of a game they lost last night didn’t help. They needed to show that they could still do it, that they weren’t out of it yet. So they sent David Peterson up to the mound tonight, and they needed him to pitch a good game and the offense to hit so they could have a chance. But the Braves were putting their rookie starter, Ian Anderson, on the mound and it wouldn’t be easy to get runs in against Anderson and his 1.
