Ultimately, the fate of the New York Mets‘ season is in the hands of their starting rotation. While Noah Syndergaard and Jacob deGrom are doing their best to carry the load, the back end of the rotation needs to show some sort of life.
Manager Mickey Callaway basically said that last week, but Jason Vargas wasn’t able to use that motivation properly.
The Mets lost to the Brewers by a score of 17-6 on Saturday afternoon. Vargas was one of the main contributors to helping Milwaukee hitters pad their stats — he allowed five runs on six hits (one home run), two walks, and five strikeouts in just three innings.
