Mets Drop Opener, Series Tied at 1

0:00On April 9th, the Mets dropped a 7-to-2 decision to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon, at Chili City Field, snapping there. Four-game winning streak. David Peterson took the loss after getting tagged for five earn runs over five innings in his second start of the season. Arizona jumped him early with a run in the first and four more in the second. Peterson settled down after that, retiring 11 of his last 12 batters, but the damage was done. He allowed six hits, including some infield knocks, two walks, and struck out six. Now he's zero and two, with a 6.14 ERA through three outings. This marks the Mets' first loss since Juan Soto hit the injured list with a calf string. Without Soto, their lineup struggled against Arizona starter Ryan Nelson, who held them to just one run over five in two thirds innings. Shamanaya came in relief for four innings, giving up two runs, but keeping his bullpen ERA at 3.00. The Mets finally got on the board in the sixth, with an RBI single from Brett Beatty, cutting it to five to one, but they couldn't string more together.

1:07Arizona added insurance, laid on a basis, loaded double. Series is even now at one game a piece, and the Mets go for the win Thursday night with Nolan McLean on the mound against Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez, who's been lights out with a 0.00 ERA through 12 innings.
