Mets Drop Seven-Two to Diamondbacks

0:00It's April 9th, New York Met's News. Today starts now, AI-powered and game-ready. I'm Cory with the story. The Met's dropped the 7-2 decision to the Diamondbacks as City Field on a freezing afternoon, snapping their 4-game winning streak. David Peterson took the tough luck loss, surrendering 5 earned runs over 5 innings on 6 hits, with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks. The D-backs jumped out early, piling on 5 runs in the first 2 frames thanks to Corbin Carroll's doubles and some timely hits. Managers moved 1st pitch of 3 hours for the 2nd straight day to beat the chill, but it didn't help Peterson, who left too many pitches up and over the plate. The Met's offense struggled, going just 1 for 5 with runners in scoring position, and they've been without Juan Soto since last Friday, he's now on. The injured list with a right calf strain. Peterson owned the rough start, saying he fixed his mechanics after the 2nd inning and settled in through the 5th. Major Carlos Mendoza backed him up, calling it just execution issues, with no health worries,

1:03since Peterson's been their reliable arm all season. In relief, Shamanaya threw 4 solid innings on 70 pitches, saving the bullpen, and staying stretched out just in case they need him in the, rotation later. Brett Beatty and Mark Vientos chipped in late RBI's to make it closer, but a key error in the field let Arizona pull away. As the Met's licked their wounds, Peterson's bounce back potential keeps the vibe steady. They know adjustments will get them rolling again soon.
