Mets’ 6-Man Rotation Off To Rough Start As Gee Gets Smacked Around

SAN DIEGO (CBSNewYork/AP) — It was a rough start for the New York Mets’ six-man rotation.

Just activated from the disabled list, Dillon Gee got little help from his defense Wednesday night and was chased in the fifth inning of a 7-3 loss to the San Diego Padres.

After missing nearly a month with a strained right groin, Gee (0-3) allowed seven runs on eight singles in four-plus innings. But three Mets errors, including his own wide throw to the plate, led to three unearned runs.

“It was just a bad night,” the 29-year-old said.
