Meet the Mets
The Mets dropped the series opener to the Reds, 7-6. Making the start in place of Max Scherzer, David Peterson struggled, allowing four runs, while not making it out of the fourth inning. The Reds were able to tack on from there, building a 7-1 lead. The Mets did make a comeback, powered by two solo shots from Francisco Alvarez, but ultimately came up short with the bases loaded in the eighth inning.
