Mets Morning News: Mets struggle against the Brewers, Starling Marte exits early

Meet the Mets

It was an ugly day at Citi Field. David Peterson got pulled after giving up a hit in the fifth inning and the game snowballed from there. Jake Reed was completely ineffective and the game got out of hand quickly. Facing Corbin Burnes was always going to be a challenge and the offense struggled mightily even before the game got out of reach. To make matters worse Starling Marte exited after getting hit on the wrist with a pitch. The Mets will now need to turn the page and try to take the series with Tylor Megill on the mound.
