The Mets struggled offensively in their recent game against Arizona, managing only four singles and losing 5-1. This marked their third loss in four games, underscoring a significant slump, particularly after a brief offensive surge. Key moments included bases-loaded situations that ended poorly, notably Starling Marte's strikeout. Starting pitcher David Peterson had a rough outing, allowing four earned runs. Despite some positive moments like a review-related run, the team failed to capitalize on opportunities, further complicating their recent performance against solid competition.
Limited to four singles against Zac Gallen and Arizona's bullpen, the Mets lost 5-1 at Chase Field for their third loss in four games.
The Mets had their one legitimate shot at Gallen in the third inning when Pete Alonso drew a bases-loaded walk, but Starling Marte struck out on three pitches to end the threat.
The left-hander threw 104 pitches, his highest total this season, marking the third time in four games a Mets starting pitcher allowed at least four earned runs.
An overturned call in the third inning led to the Mets' first run but before the Mets could get too excited, Marte struck out.
