Baseball is a funny game. One day after the Mets scored five runs and beat their nemesis Yu Darvish, they could not figure out Ryan Weathers, the owner of a career 5.40 ERA coming in to the game. The Mets really couldn’t get anything going offensively after the first inning, when they loaded the bases with nobody out, but Weathers escaped the storm and did not allow a run to score.
On the plus side, David Peterson delivered his best outing of the season. He was in control for the first four innings, locating much better than he did previously and using his elite slider to get whiffs.
