The Mets entered tonight coming off two straight wins against two very good AL West teams, and they played a tough game against the Mariners tonight. But they ultimately gave up too many big hits to Seattle and did not get quite enough big hits of their own tonight, and they ultimately fell to the Mariners 8-7 to tie the series at a game apiece.
David Peterson started for the Mets coming off one of his strongest outings in recent memory in which he tossed seven innings of one-run ball against the Angels. Alas, he didn’t put up quite as strong a start against the Mariners tonight.
