The Mets June swoon continued with a 9-1 loss to the lowly Pirates. David Peterson got bombed, Mitch Keller held the Met offense in-check, and the game was never particularly close. In other words, more of the same that we’ve watched over the last two weeks or so.
This is a game best summarized in brief. David Peterson, who has been fantastic on the whole this year, did not have it for a second straight start. The Pirates tattooed him four four runs in the sixth, tallying six batted balls at 100 MPH or higher. A fifth run allowed in the bottom of the fourth chased Peterson after only 4.
