David Peterson was hit hard. The Mets have dropped the first two of an important homestand.
The Mets are 29-38.
And for the second straight night, it's ballooned to 7-0, this time on a Jordan Walker three-run homer off Peterson.
The Mets are pushing Christian Scott to Thursday. Austin Warren will open Wednesday.
Since Francisco Alvarez's home run, the Cardinals have retired 14 consecutive Mets. The last nine Mets have been retired on a total of 19 pitches.
Carlos Mendoza said this had been the plan since the weekend. Scott had known to prep for Thursday.
Nelson Velazquez launches a two-run homer off David Peterson, and for the second straight night, the Mets trail the Cardinals, 4-0, by the third inning.
The Mets went 105-60 (in the regular season) between June 12, 2024 and June 12, 2025.
They are 68-93 in the year since.
The Mets have activated Francisco Alvarez. Hayden Senger was sent back to Syracuse. Alvarez’s return comes four weeks after his meniscus tear, halving the expected recovery time.
“He was relentless. It was like part of his mission.”
