It was an absolutely wild ride; the Mets were in an early hole as David Peterson walked the opposing pitcher Zac Gallen to load the bases in the second inning and then subsequently hit a batter and walked two batters to force in three runs before he was pulled in favor of Robert Gsellman, who retired the final batter in the inning.
